Context and assignment
Data strategy & decentralised governance for the finance department.
As part of its 'Data Driven' strategy, AXA calls on Visian to assess data maturity across the five axes defined by the group, establish an overall diagnostic, and build a roadmap aligned with the group data strategy.
