Building capability for continuous performance improvement and innovation is more important to Industry 4.0 than ever before.
• Manufacturing and those industries that rely on manufacturing and product development are facing multiple transformational challenges
• Combined with the speed of innovation and advancement in technologies, product development and related technologies like DevSecOps, AI, and Machine Learning, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and SISC (Software in the Supply Chain) all are adding to the these ever-accelerating challenges
• These new technologies and their related business processes are also fundamentally blurring the lines between the classic quality tripod of people, processes, and tools, which introduces risk and uncertainty
• The benefits and ROI from these new innovations and technologies are still held back by something very basic – the fundamental business capabilities and how well those capabilities are performing when compared to competitors or industry best practice
• The importance of a holistic and balanced approach to secure digital transformation and trust, (including innovation, supply chain, and data management) is paramount for not only growth, but business survival – if you don’t keep up, you become irrelevant
• The presentation will include some real-world examples where organizations that are relying on proven industry best practices and focusing on building their critical capabilities and improving performance are winning the day in their industries
