Conscious handling of data: Data governance as a fac-tor for success at KSB SE & Co. KGaA
With the intention of driving forward digital transformation, a joint preliminary study on (master) data management was conducted by KSB and Fraunhofer ISST in 2021. One key finding was that KSB should push ahead with the introduction of global data governance in order to benefit from the potential of more proactive data management. In order to create the necessary framework conditions, the preliminary project concluded with the creation of a roadmap setting out important milestones and project phases. The imple-mentation of this roadmap was the focus of the collaboration between 2022 and 2024. By combining the specific business challenges with the methodological tools of applied research, synergistic potential was leveraged that will benefit KSB in the long term..
