A common question regarding distribution of responsibilities is: Where do the data stewards (and associated data owners) fit? To keep things simple, we can think about two different kinds of formal data stewards: 1) Data stewards in the data producer community responsible for data within each domain - for example, these data stewards may be associated with credit card or mortgage data within a financial services firm, and 2) Data stewards associated with the central data team, responsible for supporting other stewards *and* for enabling consistency of *shared* data - for example, these data stewards would help define concepts like "customer", "revenue", "product", or "account", which is needed to enable semantic linkage of data across business domains for initiatives such as customer experience (CX) transformation.
At least what I have experienced working on different customers in data governance initiatives for 5+ years now is that your point 2) Wouldn't actually be a data steward at all. Data stewards always come from the business side. What you are describing in 2) would be more like data leads who have a strong data governance experience and can support data stewards in business to succeed in their role just like you described.

Good series, but more theory and audio. if it has been more visual, it would have been great
All talk and no examples. Data governance is important but execs like him make it sound bigger than it needs to be.
