Alignment between departments is complex, but it is necessary. Make sure that all different departments in your company are aligned. Otherwise, they will develop in different directions and end up with different platforms and things. This is a waste of time and money.

First, create the foundation: governance, data storage, the combination of data and so on. Everything you need to do to make data more valuable with AI. Do not start with AI first because it is a current hype and forget about the rest. Because then you will have a lot of rework and waste a lot of money.

After some time, they realized that the biggest problem was sitting somewhere in the back. There's a monster having to do with data and master data, referencing, all these things. We started this webcast series to discuss exactly these different views on digitalization and especially on these back-end things, like data and analytics. Since we think that this is one of the main pillars for digitalization strategy.
