DESCRIPTION:As one of Europe’s largest retail corporations\, REWE Group o
 wns and manages prominent supermarket chains such as REWE and PENNY\, amon
 g many other subsidiaries. In this talk I will give a brief overview of ho
 w we introduced a formal mentoring program\, Pair & Share\, at the central
  analytics department of REWE Group with its more than 150 data scientists
 \, engineers\, analysts and other colleagues. \n\nBefore Pair and Share\, 
 there was no formal process for personal\, technical or methodological gro
 wth. Although there are plenty of possibilities\, further training and edu
 cation was self-organized and fragmented. To increase growth among our col
 leagues and build and strengthen inter-team exchange\, we introduced the f
 ormal mentoring program\, Pair & Share. \n\nThis talk will cover a brief o
 verview of REWE Group and our analytics department followed by a motivatio
 n for Pair & Share. Afterwards I will explain how we planned the mentoring
  program and defined the parameters like the matching process\, the time f
 rame and how to recruit participants. I will also share my experiences of 
 the first six months of mentoring\, what kind of roadblocks but also pleas
 ant surprises we encountered. The talk will be concluded with an outline o
 f how we plan to continue and improve the program.
