Data, dashboards and digitalization: Celina brings numbers to life
Celina's work begins where countless pieces of data from different sources come together. Whether personnel data, environmental reports or key financial figures. All this information is there, is collected by different people in different places throughout the Group and must therefore of course first be structured in order to serve as a sound basis for decision-making. Their solution: dashboards that visually present complex data in an understandable way and underpin decision-making.
The data that serves as the basis for the dashboards comes from various applications and process steps that are firmly established within the Group. The data collectors are people who work across the Group.
Bringing together and preparing the data in order to develop dashboards is the first challenge.
Does that sound like a pure IT task? Not quite. Celina is not only a data expert, but also an interface between the specialist departments. Before she creates a dashboard, she has to understand exactly what the respective users need.
What information needs should the new dashboard satisfy? Who is the target group that is to work with the dashboard? What questions does this target group have and which key figures are relevant for them? How can complex relationships between key figures be easily visualized?
Questions upon questions that need to be clarified step by step and accompany Celina's work every day. What does she particularly like about it? The variety.
Dashboards that make the difference
There are many possible uses for your dashboards:
Finance: Financial accounting can see open positions at a glance.
Management report: personnel data, occupational safety, environmental key figures and construction project results are clearly presented.
Personnel: key figures on personnel and strategic goals are bundled thematically and support a targeted analysis of personnel-related issues.
A particular focus of Celina is on the personnel key figures dashboard. Various employee data is brought together and evaluated here, from changes in personnel structure to further training and potential analyses. The dashboard enables well-founded personnel decisions to be made and provides an overview of current developments in the company.
But that's not all. Together with her team, Celina is constantly developing existing dashboards, adding new functions and adapting them to current requirements. They also integrate employee training to ensure that the information is recorded correctly and used efficiently.
Teamwork and exchange of experience
No one can oversee this broad field alone. That's why Celina works closely with her team. They regularly share experiences and discuss challenges. Has there already been a similar dashboard? Which data sources are useful? Which visualization has proven successful?
Celina not only values the expertise of her colleagues, but also the teamwork: she particularly enjoys teamwork because they grow together in the face of challenges, share knowledge and learn from each other. The close exchange enables them to develop ever better solutions and benefit from each other. "For me, that's real teamwork," says Celina.
Smart data, smart future
There's no such thing as standing still, especially not in the digital world. Even though many digital tools are already in use at STRABAG, Celina's goal is to rely even more heavily on AI in the future. On the one hand as support in programming, and on the other hand in the analysis and interpretation of data. Automated pattern recognition and intelligent recommendations can make dashboards even more powerful and provide users with an improved basis for decision-making. The opportunities opened up by smart technologies are an exciting future field for her. One that she wants to actively help shape.
Conclusion: Digitalization you can touch
Celina's work shows that digitalization is not just a buzzword, but brings real added value. She ensures that a huge amount of data is turned into structured information – a basis for well-founded decisions, optimized processes and a more efficient construction world.
With the vision of integrating artificial intelligence even more, she is consistently taking digital progress further. And makes it tangible day after day.
