That is the first enabler. Then, obviously, the focus is on data, standardised data, AI-ready data and effective processes for using that data. Both are essential but first, most of all, I believe mindset is the key.”
On the data side, the team is equally aligned. Torsten Meyer, Global Head of Material Master Data for Henkel Adhesive Technologies, sees his and his team’ s role as providing the foundation on which integration can actually be built. The principle, as he describes it, is straightforward: one voice requires one platform, one set of KPIs, one standardised process landscape.“ In the past we were siloed, everybody optimised for their own area of responsibility,” he says.“ We have already created the bridges between them to be much more efficient as part of our last transformation but the discussions are now on a completely different level, it’ s about how to improve, not about whose position is right.
“ We need to speak and act with one voice,” Torsten adds.“ That means having one set of KPIs, one target and one data platform that acts as the foundation for the vision.”
