Part 4/13:

Recognizing the increasing significance of digital technologies, Rolls-Royce established an internal capability called Data Labs in 2018. Over the previous decade, data and analytics had always played a role internally—improving product efficiency, safety, and maintenance. However, to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving technological landscape, the company committed to modernizing its approach.

Guided by three core principles—people, value, and resilience—the Data Labs aimed to:

• People: Recruit and develop talent aligned with the company's strategic objectives.

• Value: Focus on initiatives that deliver measurable impact on top and bottom lines.

• Resilience: Ensure the sustainability and repeatability of successful digital projects.
