Summary
This case study outlines Yamaha Motors' approach to enhancing data science skills within their organization using KNIME Analytics Platform. The objective was to address the shortage of employees proficient in data analytics, which is essential for informed decision-making and optimizing business operations. In 2023, Yamaha successfully trained over 1,500 employees, significantly increasing their data literacy and enabling them to work with data independently. The training program included various learning paths tailored to different skill levels, allowing employees from diverse departments to become citizen data scientists. The use of KNIME's low-code platform facilitated immediate engagement with data analytics, removing barriers to entry for those without prior coding experience. The initiative has fostered collaboration across business units, resulting in improved data-driven decision-making and innovation. By democratizing data science skills, Yamaha has transformed its workforce, creating a community of data-literate employees who can contribute to the company's growth and competitive advantage.
