On this episode, Engin Beken, Partner at Arthur D. Little, joins host Benjamin Brockmann to discuss challenges and solutions within the digitalization of operations.
Engin believes that although the term Industry 4.0 may have been hyped in the middle of the last decade, it will remain a big part of our lives in the years to come.
In addition to digital operations, there will be new topics that will need to be incorporated within the operations landscape. These may include digitalization planning and execution, rethinking processes, and the implementation of new technologies.
Many companies are experiencing problems getting traction within digitalization. Engin sheds light on these challenges, which include the key topics of transparency, knowledge, and people.
Engin also reveals how to get employees focused on technology and digital topics in general. The key is to foster a failure culture, which means measuring success not solely based on achieving predefined milestones, but encouraging an open mindset. This is crucial for paving the way for the implementation of new ideas.
