We are moving towards an increasingly data-driven world, with boundless possibilities. At Telenet, Data & analytics are recognized as the fuel & engine under the hood that can improve everything in our business. Within the Data Acceleration Tribe - the centralized data & analytics team in Telenet’s agile at-scale organization - our Data Strategists play a key role in shaping and executing our AI products.
Our Data Strategists are centralized and report into our Analytics & AI team. They play a key role in our so-called ‘Boost’ concept, with each individual data strategist leading the execution of one of our AI products and steering the day to day efforts of our data scientists and analysts to do so. This happens in close collaboration with business teams across Telenet (quarterly click-in mechanism with business teams) on topics such as Customer Experience transformation, Segment-of-one marketing, Value-based network roll-out, and Strategic workforce intelligence.
As a group, data strategists collaborate closely with our organization’s business - and data leadership to ensure that the work we do in data delivers value.
