Masterclasses

8:00 am - 9:30 am MASTERCLASS B: MINDSET CHANGE AND CULTURAL CHANGE IN A COMPLEX DATA ORGANIZATION
Tobias Riedner - Head of Data Analytics, Danone

In times of data transformation and the change to data-driven corporate models, such as the Data Mesh, one of the greatest challenges is cultivating a new mindset among employees. The transformation towards decentralization brings with it new questions. In this workshop we will address this topic and discuss the following aspects:


  • Dealing with the new data-related roles and responsibilities in the specialist departments in a decentralized organization (data literacy and mindset)
  • Processes to increase know-how (“what does that mean” or “what does that NOT mean”)
  • Designing change management and cultural change correctly
  • Practical insights through case studies and tools to actively implement the change in your complex data organization
