Project overview

Context

The company has defined a Data strategy and launched a transformation program aiming to make data a shared, governed, and reusable business asset across countries.

This transformation program aims to create the common Data foundations necessary for the development of Data and AI uses across its countries.

The ambition is to:

The strategy is defined, broken down into 5 workstreams in the program:

Workstream Purpose Main results 1. Design and deploy the Data Domain Operating Model Make domain teams led by the business responsible for their data scope, their priorities, and end-to-end delivery. Operating Model designed, tested, and then deployable. 2. Define and share the rules of the game Give Data Owners and teams common standard practices for Data activities, both functional and technical. Data Playbook and onboarding kits. 3.

Operate the Data Platform as a shared service Define a clear service offering, responsibilities, demand management procedures, and a consolidated roadmap for the common Data platform. Service offering, RACI, demand management, and roadmap. 4. Prepare each country to adopt the model Define a realistic trajectory according to the maturity, staffing, skills, funding, and specific constraints of each country. Readiness assessment and country execution plan. 5. Migrate country Data assets to the target platform Move useful assets to the target platform and gradually reduce reliance on historical platforms.

Migration roadmap and decommissioning plan. 6. Coordinate the program and maintain alignment Ensure the consistency of the five workstreams, prepare decisions, and provide a consolidated view of execution. Consolidated roadmap, KPIs, decision forums, and program reporting.

The challenge now is to transform this vision into a concrete, applicable, and deployable operational model.

Note that the program is directly linked to a broader transformation of business processes and the information system. This transformation includes the progressive deployment of a new core business platform and associated applications, as well as the implementation of a common Data platform.

Missions

Our client is looking for a senior consultant to support the design, experimentation, and implementation of the Data Domains operating model.

The mission will primarily cover two workstreams of the DataStone program:

Data Domain Operating Model

Define how Data Domains should operate on a daily basis:

Data Playbook

Define the common rules that will allow countries and domains to evolve in a coherent direction:

These two subjects must be developed jointly.

• Strengthen business responsibility for data;
• Organize around Data Domains led by the business;
• Gradually converge towards common assets, standards, and practices;
• Enable realistic adoption in countries with very different levels of maturity and resources.
• Roles and responsibilities;
• Data Owners' mandate;
• Operation of Business / Data / IT teams;
• Coordination between domains;
• Coordination between countries;
• Decision-making and arbitration mechanisms.
• Guiding principles;
• Standards;
• Reference models;
• Exception management rules;
• Practical guides;
• Onboarding kits.
