terms, means knowing what data we have access
to, without exception, whether this is management
data or operational data, of which connected objects
give us more and more. It also means knowing where
our data is stored, being able to collect it, share and
exploit it, enrich it and fi nally, of course, being able
to create new products and services based on data.

Why create a community?
Many people must help make data a new asset
for the Group: management to defi ne strategy and
use; data and IT specialists to implement it. The
community is where we come together, to share and
enrich our work. We based it on the Data Scientists
community which was set up two years ago.

How does it work?
