Channel: DATAVERSITY
Date: 2013-04-22

The Data Steward plays a very important role in most Data Governance initiatives.  But the question of what it means to be identified as a Data Steward remains as one of the most asked questions about Data Governance.  Is there an industry standard or does it depend on the make-up and culture of each organization?  Is there one steward for each type of data or multiple types of stewards?  Is Data Steward a title or a more holistic role?  What does a day in the life of a typical Data Steward look like?  Is there a "typical" data steward?

This webinar will focus on different ways to define the role of the Data Steward in a program that fits the culture of your organization.  The webinar will focus of identifying the specific activities of a Data Steward and other roles and responsibilities per the design of your program and identify whether or not there is a need for different types of Stewards.
