Collaboration
Data Steward facilitates Community of Interest .
Collaboration among data stewards will allow the Data Governance Council to resolve discrepancies across business units and systems.
Based on the individual Data Management Issue being addressed, the appropriate members who will serve as a community of interest relevant to each need. This group, facilitated by the "owner" will work toward consensus in determining the solution. Consensus will be determined to not by a vote, but by having the group decide that the course of action is practical, and that everyone can "live with it".
Community of Interest Steward
A community of interest is normally comprise of designated data stewards, although in some cases a data steward may ask to have an expert who is not a member of the Data Governance Council participate for the duration of one process. Facilitated by the "owning" data steward, they have additional responsibility as part of a group of stewards whose data crosses organizational boundaries, and which has to be shared with common definitions and values.Any decision or action regarding data that crosses organizational boundaries will be the result of collaboration and consensus, but it is the owning data steward, facilitating a Community of Interest group who is responsible for negotiating and communication of decisions. Any disagreements or differences in perceived need will be directed to the Executive Sponsorship group for resolution.
