Why Join
The speakers and moderator will discuss the following two themes.
-
What separates companies that get results from those that don't
What made the difference in outcomes, and what obstacles did they run into along the way? Who led the initiative — was it IT-led or shop-floor-led — how was leadership engaged, and was there resistance on the floor? We'll hear honest accounts of trial and error.
-
How to scale manufacturing DX
Focus on a single department, or roll out across multiple departments at once? When and how was the CoE (Center of Excellence) established? Should standard apps be built? How was the scope and app portfolio expanded over time? We'll explore the theory behind scaling.
