Alexandre Knight, Group Chief Data Officer at Allianz Trade
What we did: a framework for shared organizational understanding
The BearingPoint team began by establishing a shared data language, a glossary and a global governance, which helped remove barriers. This common ground of understanding ensured data consistency and enabled better operational oversight at a group level. Working together with a shared understanding is a critical factor in achieving the group's productivity objectives, such as lowering reporting production costs, enabling data science applications, and supporting the implementation of AI use cases.
To facilitate the adoption of the solution, the team then organized a series of onboarding, training courses and instructional videos to support skills development and data literacy across Allianz Trade. Over 650 people have received training on the Data Governance tool, Informatica.
These improvements in data quality and reporting capabilities enhanced the organization’s ability to meet stringent compliance, financial and commercial requirements. They also helped to reinforce Allianz Trade’s operational resilience and support their longer-term business development.
