"I think the pace of change is large, and I think it has been characterized by three major development steps in the last 30 years," says the bar. The first phase was technical, with tools and data warehouses. There was a strong awareness that the data was a technical "problem." The second phase is based on regulatory environments, and new dat a-related concepts and policies have significantly emphasized in everything that is considered to be data management. Knowing customers, reporting to regulatory authorities, money laundering and security, data management confidentiality, information, and almost all. Recently, evolution has become more cultural, focusing on human resources, abilities, and data management, and has been focusing on how data is part of the work of everyone.

"In every field, maturity and awareness are increasing, but the ability to optimize the value of data in this field is still very complicated, and there are issues. It is urgently needed to apply the skills learned in the important steps of the data revolution, deeply linked the interests of customers and shareholders, and at the same time focusing on the value we need to achieve. " For the industry, there is no time to draw more value and share from the big data we collect and create. "The focus of LGIM is completely in value engineering. < SPAN> Bar is not unknown to this evolution.

"My role is to build, promote, and develop a work environment that focuses on data." This is closely cooperating with teams that straddle business, technology, data, and operations, and the data is in the center of business. LGIM is already a strategy when we join LGIM, which will eventually enhance the value of our customers, build a comprehensive data concept of LGIM. I was doing a vision that I had collaborated with from the beginning of what was the success of the data. We have been working closely in the formulation of visions and missions and business formulas.

"The necessary steps were clear from the beginning. We have the ability to reconstruct the group and reconnect advanced data, and based on it, we have the ability to build a job that succeeds with data. However, we needed to create a compan y-wide operational data model that does not exist at the moment.

"I believe in raw data power, and to expand the user's opportunity through specific use of existing information and deep knowledge, is considered to be the basis for our vision. This is essence. In order to seek fundamental reconstruction like this skill, seek for any stakeholders, understand how to change the consequences and how this result looks. The ability to participate in the compan y-In this time you will achieve the free ownership of data, we will focus on doing it. After that, we have begun to support a company that takes the possible art. "

"In every field, maturity and awareness are increasing, but the ability to optimize the value of data in this field is still very complicated, and there are issues. It is urgently needed to apply the skills learned in the important steps of the data revolution, deeply linked the interests of customers and shareholders, and at the same time focusing on the value we need to achieve.

"How to use the assets of Alpha Platform State Street, leaving the inherited property," says the bar. "In the framework of this strategic change, we will substantially transfer to some of the data management functions to state street. The right person in the information we provide is the right time. It is required to consider a method that can be accessed in an appropriate way, and for example, this alone is based on a more consistent with a wider strategy.

"We can build a data structure to manage all data received from the state street (and other partners in the data ecosystem) in our ensemble framework. After this, it is required, for customer reports, performance specialists, faithful direct responsibilities for reporting and legal claims, more wide digital ambitions, for example, users for customers. ・ It is necessary to associate with further development and strengthening skills.

"My role is to develop, provide and implement a overall vision of LGIM data.

User skills are the most important. Thanks to Stom Lugim, employees have become more innovative, more creatively applying personal skills, and gained the possibility of gaining hig h-quality customers. In this process, technology and data play an important role. Regarding the latter, Barrells and his team are focusing on democratization of data throughout the organization, and this collaboration has a decisive meaning in enhancing corporate value. "The main obstacle to unification is to keep all the skills and knowledge necessary for business in the same space, but data is a property that does not belong to business. Therefore, we have appropriate management from the beginning. The focus is on introducing data management into an organization in the managed way. "

"Most of our visions are to create platforms and operational models." We have already made a big progress on the platform and transferred appropriate data to the people and machinery when needed. In this way, they give them the ability to apply the knowledge and information acquired in a fresh and important way; some of the operational models secure effective processes without the process. This is the result of the formation of the complex and the consequences of the data, and how to deal with the data. Is created by assets without friction, manage funds, whether they are data-analysis experts, need it, and who are the sales manager, or anyone else in the organization, and apply it. It flows to those who understand how to do it.

Data and future opportunities

As is the case with any important change program, development is born only from that moment. In this case, the democratization of effective data and the creation of the whole compan y-wide meaning are equally dependent on human resources, collaboration, and true organizational culture. Mr. Bar mentions a certain number of initiatives that contributed to the development of this nuance, to adjust the "news from the center" that introduces new innovative methods of data utilization, and to spread the momentum of changes in business. The company features a practitioner's community, and the establishment of digital technology and a group of advice recommendations. < SPAN> User skills are the most important.

Continuing on the topic of effective collaboration, Taru is talking about how close interaction with partner organizations is indeed central to strategy execution. "For us, it is a great privilege to work with various partner organizations. In addition to State Street Alpha, we are working with Cloudera, who is introducing CDP, to uncover the value of data in every space and help users understand how to apply Cloudera's capabilities to visualize data and machine learning. Domino Data Labs helps us create and disseminate more robust models in investments using their family of best-in-class platforms. Infosys is hugely popular in BPO and helps us build advanced, scalable and durable architectures using data. We continue to work with leaders of other organizations who expand the capabilities of democratized ecosystems with their business skills and commitment to the plan.

According to Bharat's vision, such collaboration alignment is considered a key component of long-term spat, especially the relationship between data, technology and business. "My coordination in this regard has been practical and practical every time," he explains. "The choice of technology is the responsibility and role of the technical director, and at the same time, these conclusions must be based on a precise set of claims, including the data design components. The partnership that I support with my colleagues helps to guarantee that the technology partner has a chance to arrange the right choice to realize these claims. Once the implementation is underway, the legal ability of the team to merge data and technology and work together as a whole will be fundamental.

"Collaboration with the business is absolutely different," he says. "When you communicate with stakeholders, the whole point is to tell yourself about it, to justify why they are obliged to be interested in data, to evoke concrete consequences that suffer from visible consequences, and to lapse beyond the subject itself. As a favorite in the data field, an effective story about data is the legal ability to arrest its own knowledge of knowledge and implement it into a practical and actionable vision for senior stakeholders in the commerce - without their help any program to work with data will be ineffective.
