Digital Transformation:
The Journey to Success

Technology needs to eliminate barriers and enhance collaboration across the company. Workplaces with high integration across engineering, manufacturing and service departments tend to hit return on investment (ROI) goals. 

Better collaboration leads to better utilisation. The key is to streamline communication between teams while getting the balance right in the number of collaborators involved. Digital threads play an important role in linking physical and digital processes to ensure a continuous data flow across all stages of the product lifecycle.

Strong leadership can make or break digital transformation success. Leaders must take charge of the entire DX journey, beyond simply implementing new technology. In doing so, departmental barriers are broken down and cross-collaboration improved.

Companies that lack committed leadership increase their likelihood of DX failure, with a 61% chance of falling short of ROI goals. Effective leadership drives DX initiatives to success, preventing delays and maximising value.

Successful journeys to DX need to be embraced throughout the entire organisation. Each employee within every team must feel empowered to take ownership of new technology. 

Leadership is crucial to this pillar, as teams require top-down guidance to achieve bottom-up innovation. Long-term company goals must be communicated across the organisation, so each team is aware of the operational benefits with their department.
