Data Engineering? Social Engineering!

Data Engineering? Social Engineering!

Thursday September 18, 2025 10:15 - 10:45 CEST Grosse Bühne

Category: Lecture, EN

Data Engineering is not all about technology, it has already become clear that it requires distinct soft skills. We will present our approach towards “sensing the internal market”, how to manage stakeholders by being extremely proactive, asking questions rather than receiving orders. The data platform we are building at Pilatus is increasingly becoming a platform for exchange of ideas and business development, a sandbox for product development fueling a data-inspired culture.
