(JUST FOR FORMAT CHECK)

The purpose of this playbook section is ………….. I will write an introduction but I have not done so yet so this will be here just as a format check

The purpose of this playbook section is to provide users with a clear understanding of where their business stands in terms of data stewardship. Data stewardship is a process that seeks to ensure that data is being used in a responsible, consistent, effective and efficient manner. This is the first section and is a necessary first step to be successful in implementing, using and maintaining technology.

In this section we will be looking at how to collect and organize the critical information and data in your organization. This includes how to provide your company with guidance and clarity for its use, sharing, access, storage, and security.

By the end of this section, you will have produced a data and information planning document that can be used to both improve your organization’s current data policies and maintain good stewardship moving forward.

The document, referred to as the Information Discovery Spreadsheet (IDS) is a first step in achieving good data and understanding how data is at work within your organization.
