According to Fawad Butt, many companies spend a lot of time and energy building a Data Governance and Data Stewardship Program by putting, policies, procedure, and tools into place, yet, “At the end of the day, the real operationalization work of Data Governance tends to happen through Data Stewards.” To do that well, stewards need training, support, and permission to learn from mistakes.
Fawad Butt is the Chief Data Governance officer at Kaiser Permanente (KP) and recently delivered the Keynote Address for the DATAVERSITY® Enterprise Data Governance Online 2017 Conference.
