  3. Data Stewardship intermediate

    After a year of stewards in name only, a company funds the role properly: 18 stewards at 20% of their time, written into objectives, with authority to refuse an access request.

    Review this stewardship design. Every one of 1,200 tables has a named steward drawn from the business. Stewards approve access requests, maintain descriptions in the catalogue and attend a monthly forum. After a year, 30% of descriptions are filled in, access approvals take nine days and the forum has six regular attendees. What would you change and what would you keep?
