The data revolution: Turning everything into data, to transform everything through data.
Data transformation is now the next step in the digital transformation of companies. Data leave the technical domain of specialists to become an issue of economic performance, innovation and strategy for large companies. The main challenge of a data transformation policy is to develop business-driven innovation, that mixes business and technical teams in an agile mode. Carrefour has a strong « exploitation » culture, that focuses on small incremental improvements, the whole issue today being to combine it with an « exploration » culture that leverage data to try, test and reiterate.
