Key takeaways

• Digital transformation in manufacturing is easier said than done - up to 95% of all digital transformation efforts fail.

• Managers often need more insight to pinpoint problem areas that will benefit the most from digital transformation or the necessary buy-in from management and rank-and-file.

• To ensure success, you need a strategy that provides direction, clarity, and a structured approach – and gets wide buy-in from the organisation.
