Evonik generates large data volumes along the entire value chain that are relevant to the decision making of employees. However, the data is often only made accessible and information is often only exchanged on a need-to-know basis. Data integration for comprehensive analyses is only possible to a limited extent. For this reason, the organisational unit has the following vision: to improve cooperation, processes and transactions as a data-empowered organisation with a central focus on people. Zuhlke supports Evonik to define and implement a scalable pilot program.

Zühlke assessed the current data maturity level and defined the target state of the organisation in key dimensions. According to this the project team developed an actionable roadmap with twelve work packages. Zühlke accompanied the entire process – from framework adaptation and maturity analysis to roadmap development.

Within four months, the core team created transparency of the status quo and established a common picture of the future state. A two-years roadmap with concrete work packages paves the way to a data-empowered organisation and serves as a blueprint for other business units. Zühlke will continue to support Evonik to reach the envisioned state.
