Moving On: From a Data Project to Operational Business as Usual
Through a pilot project, a small team enabled significant savings by developing a data driven solution based on historical data and analytics. After closure of the project, as the team members returned into their normal role, the benefits started to disappear and expected savings not delivered. Using a structure approach to data, not only did the site manage to restore the solution and delivered the promised benefits, but also paved the way to the application of Operational Intelligence through the enterprise.
