Anyone Measuring Digital Transformation?
A Complimentary CIMdata Educational Webinar with Dr. Venki Agaram, Director, Quality & Reliability Engineering Consulting Practice, CIMdata
August 15 2019
11:00 EDT | 08:00 PDT | 17:00 CEDT
Do any of the following statements sound familiar?
- We are deploying technologies/concepts like IoT, ML/AI, AR/VR, Digital Twin/Thread but have no idea how effective they are.
- We deploy many pilot projects in different technological areas without a clear strategic vision.
- The impact of different new technology areas on one another is not understood.
Digital transformation is associated with the deployment of a host of recent and emerging technologies and concepts, such as digitalization, Internet of Things, analytics, machine-learning, artificial intelligence, digital twin, digital thread, virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality, and blockchain. This list is only likely to grow with accelerating cross-disciplinary invention and innovation, and, the manufacturing businesses will be continually bombarded with them in the name of digital transformation.
The main question is, if digital transformation is a journey that a manufacturing business embarks on to remain competitive and profitable, then, is there a systematic way of approaching it through strategic planning to follow a roadmap that produces tangible results over a period of time in terms of profitability and competitiveness. The question underlying that question is, how does one measure digital transformation? Is it necessary to measure digital transformation? What are the metrics that could be used to measure digital transformation?
In this webinar, CIMdata will present its definitions and frameworks associated with the digital transformation that manufacturing businesses are undertaking, along with a discussion on the metrics for measuring digital transformation, as well as potential dependency of the metrics on different enabling technologies and concepts.
What will I learn?
- You will gain a high-level understanding of the new technologies and concepts being deployed for digital transformation.
- You will learn about the impact new technologies are having on product development and the potential interaction between those technologies.
- You will gain an understanding of CIMdata’s vision for measuring digital transformation and the potential paths for the systematic deployment of new technologies for increased effectiveness.
Who should attend?
- Product development, manufacturing, service, and marketing experts
- New technology developers e.g., AR/MR, IoT, Sensors/Actuators
- Business analysts, data scientists, and systems & data architects
