On the Value of Data: Value Creation in Industrial Services
The utilization of data for value creation holds significant strategic importance for industrial companies. However, in order to provide and process data, these companies must make substantial investments, often without initially knowing if sufficient value will be generated as a result. In this presentation, we will discuss science-based and practice-oriented approaches for companies to shape value creation with data and quantify the business value contribution for their customers and themselves. Building upon this, we will explore directions in which data-driven services can create environmentally sustainable benefits.
