LyondellBasell rolled out TrendMiner globally after the initial success of the pilot with a dedicated project team and TrendMiner’s Customer Success team. Highlighted below are the key steps taken to achieve success.
- Identify the business needs for a solution
- Identify challenges and key users who are SMEs to drive the project
- Select pilot sites with the most potential to test & evaluate the solution

With the successful pilot and proven business value, operationalize the pilot approach to other areas with a similar business need.
