In order to maintain its own competitiveness in a volatile market environment, especially with regard to emerging technological innovations in connection with artificial intelligence, RheinEnergie strives for a very high speed in data-related work. RheinEnergie relies on external support to achieve rapid results and thus significantly increase its own speed of action. In order to jointly develop a structure or roadmap with corresponding fields of action, RheinEnergie is looking for a sparring partner in the development of a data strategy.
How can data be used efficiently as a strategic resource?
How can decentralized data landscapes be developed into an integrated structure?
What framework conditions must the data strategy fulfill?
In this phase, the current status of data practices at RheinEnergie is analyzed. This includes data maturity interviews to assess the level of maturity and a strategy assessment to align with the corporate strategy. Data-driven ideas and specific use cases are developed in the Data Thinking Workshop. The architecture assessment examines the existing IT and data architecture for its future viability.
After analyzing the status quo, taod's strategy consultants pool all the findings and derive key, overarching conclusions. The results form the basis for clear objectives and prioritized fields of action. These include, for example, strengthening innovation management or establishing structured enablement structures. A common understanding of roles also improves cross-divisional collaboration within the company.
We develop a roadmap with clearly defined areas of action and responsibilities. An open implementation approach is chosen in order to keep the degree of centralization flexible. Individual topics are initially piloted with selected market areas in a small group. This creates a blueprint that enables rapid progress without having to involve all 15 areas at the same time.
As a result, RheinEnergie receives a compact strategy paper that reflects the logical structure of the data strategy, including concrete action plans from vision to implementation. The next steps planned together with RheinEnergie are illustrated with a concrete timeline. The new data strategy centralizes RheinEnergie's strategic plans, underpins existing data initiatives and opens up individualized opportunities for the departmental value creation of data.
