Project Description

Project description:

The challenge is to design and establish a concept from an organizational but also from a process point of view to get distributed data assets connected and usable from an end-to-end perspective. This should provide new insights across business areas and functions.

Data Mesh seems to be an approach to get that accomplished without need for massive centralization efforts while maintaining the flexibility of the different business areas.

Goals of the project:

The ultimate goal of the project is to describe how the Data Mesh concept could be applied at Bayer to

  1. Efficiently manage data assets in a corporate enterprise like Bayer
  2. Connect data assets for end-to-end usage and consumption
  3. Support and foster data driven-decision making
  4. Utilize data to establish new business models

The aspects 1) to 4) can be considered as options to be chosen from.

    Deliverables:

    • Architecture of data assets within Bayer (based on agreed examples) along with
      • processes and
      • organizational elements

        to manage them according to Data Mesh Concept.

    • Roadmap for implementation of the Concept.
    • Description of short-, mid-, long-term benefits.

    Essential student knowledge:

    • General overview regarding Business Administration
    • Informatics, ideally with conceptual knowledge regarding data management
    • Advanced Skills in visualization of complex context
