Overview

Scaling up digital transformation initiatives (also called Industrial Transformation (IX)) come with a set of business challenges that are not easy to overcome. While some companies are successfully transforming, as LNS Research shows, most industrial organizations are either still keeping it at a smaller scope (e.g. pilots) or haven’t started their transformation yet.

In this webinar, we combine three perspectives on industrial transformation. MaxGrip’s Ronald de Kok, VP Marketing & Sales and Bob Francis, research analyst at LNS Research will discuss four roadblocks. They will then be joined by Dennis van der Plas who is Manager Maintenance and Asset Care in the global Heineken organization. He will share his experience concerning the four barriers.

The four roadblocks that are discussed:

  1. Asset management is not seen as a contributor of IX success
  2. The organization is not able to see beyond the technology
  3. The organization is not able to achieve internal adoption for the changes
  4. There’s no internal alignment or collaboration between Operations and Asset Management
