Summary
Modernization and digital transformation are buzzwords that too often vendors use interchangeably. However, there are critical differences that companies need to understand to get the most out of their tech spend.
Modernization means getting the most out of your current equipment. That’s not to say it’s a timid approach. Done right, modernization can produce massive gains in productivity and lower costs. Digital transformation, on the other hand, can seem like a moon shot. It’s a bigger-investment, bigger-rewards rethink of the entire manufacturing process, something that helps futureproof your organization.
How do you know which approach is best for your company?
In this webinar, we’ll present examples of companies using each approach – what worked in different cases and why. And you’ll learn the top lessons that successful companies use.
- Why the Factory Must Lead the Initiative
- How to Avoid Overdoing the Plan and Embrace Learning
- Ensuring Collaboration Across Divisions is Key
- How to Get Beyond the Pilot and Assume Variation
- Integrating Data Governance
- Communicating Progress and Celebrating Success
