Context and assignment
Structuring and running the group's Data Innovation programme.
Transforming a programme originally focused on idea detection into an internal offering dedicated to scaling. Running expert hubs (AI, data, Cyber, IoT), preparing ideation workshops, feasibility studies, framing and developing MVPs.
The challenge
What was at stake
For TotalEnergies, the assignment covered: “Structuring and running the group's Data Innovation programme”. This kind of programme involves business departments, IT and data teams at the same time: it has to deliver quickly without weakening existing systems, and leave behind practices that hold once the assignment ends.
