Digital Transformation in Manufacturing: Getting Started
Historically manufacturers have had a product based focus: quality, innovation, and value, and have built operational models and digital capabilities to excel in these foundations. As the digital age of the fourth industrial revolution has come about, every business now finds themselves needing to evolve to meet and ultimately exceed the modern buyer’s expected experience.
With the consumer-based selling model lifting expectations of a digital and connected experience, manufacturers have the opportunity for their product to be only the beginning of an ongoing relationship with their customer. Digital transformation not only enables market share growth, but reduces risk of revenue attrition.
Digital transformation extends beyond technology; it also requires a business to undergo fundamental changes in the way they operate and design their business process.
Pillars of Success
Digitally transforming a business is an evolutionary process unique to the objectives and strategy within an organization. By breaking objectives into pillars that positively impact the customer’s journey, organizations can develop a road-map aligned with their own strategic goals.
