Solving Issues at the Root with Metadata Management

As energy companies embrace digital transformation, success increasingly depends on data—not just in quantity, but in structure, ownership, and clarity. In this session, Thomas Bode, Chief Digital Transformation Officer at MET Group, presents a compelling case for metadata management as a cornerstone of digital maturity and operational resilience.

Rather than focusing solely on tools or technology, Thomas shares MET Group’s journey in building a comprehensive metadata framework. By treating metadata as the connective tissue of their digital ecosystem, MET has created a foundation that enables transparency, accountability, and rapid execution.

This session will explore how MET developed its digital collaboration platform from scratch, mapping more than 200 IT systems, defining over 17,000 data terms, and connecting data models across domains.

“To build the value of tomorrow, we must stop solving only today’s problems and start managing our digital enablers with clarity, structure, and intent.”
