Ottogi

Ottogi stands as a premier comprehensive food company, committed to delivering safe, high-quality products through advanced facilities and stringent hygiene standards. At the forefront of the industry, Ottogi is embracing digital transformation to maintain its competitive edge. Specifically, the company seeks to boost its decision-making processes by harnessing the power of internal data. To realize this ambition, Ottogi partnered with Elice for a six-week Proof of Concept (PoC) project aimed at enhancing its data analysis proficiency and developing talent skilled in deriving valuable insights from internal data.

Thorough Pre-training for PoC Project

Before commencing the PoC project, comprehensive pre-training was conducted. A dedicated domain for Ottogi was established, and pre-training took place through the Elice platform. Building a solid foundation before initiating the project was crucial. Pre-training enhanced participants’ understanding and facilitated smooth project execution.

The pre-training phase, incorporating theoretical lessons, quizzes, and hands-on exercises, was crafted to facilitate structured learning. AI assistants provided instant feedback and clarifications, supporting learners at their own pace. Although designed for the PoC project’s preparatory stage, the curriculum was carefully tailored to pinpoint and rectify any skill gaps. This thorough approach enabled participants to complete pre-training efficiently, laying a solid foundation for the PoC project.

PoC Project for Enhancing Data-Driven Decision-Making Abilities

In the PoC project’s scope, “PoC” signifies “proof of concept,” a phase during which the project’s feasibility is assessed through testing or verification before comprehensive execution. A data analysis PoC project in a corporate setting employs company-specific data to solve challenges and meet objectives. Similarly, Ottogi’s PoC project leveraged internal data to refine its decision-making processes.

The project was designed considering Ottogi’s specific situation, maintaining security for internal data utilization. The goal was to enhance decision-making abilities based on internal data. The project involved collecting and analyzing internal data to derive insights and improve business processes. As it was a project using actual internal data, it focused on delivering content applicable to immediate business use. Tasks such as crawling Naver reviews, analyzing trend data using analytical tools, deriving insights from sales data, and formulating sales strategies were carried out. Participants gained hands-on experience in the entire data analysis process through visualization.
