I've met Stefanie Schmittel during a DS&AI meeting in May 2023 in Madrid. She works within Data Strategy and Governance in the group Proprietary Information Management.

The Proprietary Information Management team, PIM, takes care of processes and systems related to either Compliance or Data Governance. Please talk to us if you need help with some cross-functional or collaboration-related topic or if you are interested to learn more about compound-related processes, compliance checks, lab notebook systems and similar things. For more information contact: Friederike Stoll.

The R&D Digital Fluency Program (DFP) is supporting you with learning offerings to build up competencies and further skillsets around digital technologies to enable a competitive and digitally literate organization. At the Digital Fluency Program, we set ourselves apart by offering learning opportunities created by your peers who understand the unique challenges you face in your job. Our tailored approach focuses on real-life use cases, taking our training far from generic and providing you relevant and impactful skill development. In 2020 we, a small team of four people, started our journey with the DFP as part of the R&D Digital Roadmap. Since technologies are ever evolving and impacting our work environment it is more important than ever to foster a culture of continuous learning and enable future opportunities. Thus the DFP learning portfolio includes something for everyone, regardless of your level of knowledge: It offers general awareness programs to enhance basic digital literacy, self-learning pathways on data analysis & visualization and the ability to access online courses like Coursera via the Digital Curriculum. The team ensured the learning objective was met by piloting newly developed learning programs, making use of cross-functional development, and incorporated R&D specific components prior to a broader roll-out in the organization.

Within DS&AI the Product Owner Hub team, POH, is here to drive the impact of digital products in R&D via a product-centric approach. We conduct this in a hub-and-spoke setting in close collaboration with our R&D colleagues and IT teams and we aim to increase the cross-functional and data-centric mindset throughout the organizations. Our team will establish a dynamic, holistic view on the R&D digital landscape through transparent and value-based digital product roadmaps. We will employ “total cost of ownership” principles that will allow us to better grasp the full cost of digital activities and systems for Bayer – and map this against the expected value. This should allow us to make jointly well-informed decisions about future digital investments investments closely working with our IT colleagues. Artwork created using Stable Diffusion.
