Beyond digital transformation: how experience innovation is key to growth

Beyond digital transformation: how experience innovation is key to growth

(Image credit: Andriy Onufriyenko/via Getty Images) For years, digital transformation has been the mantra for businesses everywhere. Yet, despite substantial technological investments, many organizations have reached a plateau. According to Gartner, IT departments allocate a substantial portion of their budgets to maintaining existing systems and operations, rather than innovation. Specifically, IT budgets often allocate around 66% to running and maintaining systems, leaving only 34% – and far from all of that is spent on growth-focused innovation. This isn’t surprising when digital transformation is often viewed as a means to an end; as a way to optimize existing processes and reduce costs rather than a catalyst for growth. But what if we shifted our perspective and saw our digital assets not only as tools for efficiency but also as engines for generating new value? That’s where experience innovation comes in. LATEST VIDEOS FROM techradar Tech Radar Pro What is experience innovation? According to the IDC’s Worldwide Digital Transformation Spending Guide, companies worldwide are projected to spend more than £2.6 trillion on digital transformations in 2026, with a five-year compound annual growth rate of 16.3%. However, too many of these projects develop into a tunnel vision on optimization. Experience innovation is […]

How Digital Tech is Moving the Needle on Manufacturing Productivity

How Digital Tech is Moving the Needle on Manufacturing Productivity

The Pro.Lean module, part of Emerson’s Movicon platform, creates a holistic view of OEE to improve overall plant efficiency. Source: Emerson Discrete Automation Advanced technologies like AI, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and data analytics are routinely hyped for driving transformative efficiencies and productivity gains. Yet the reality is most manufacturers are relatively early in the process of developing their digital agenda. One factor contributing to this is how manufacturing productivity, the metric associated with how quickly a company can turn out goods, has been stymied by rising customer demand for bespoke products. “It’s easy to get better when you’re doing the same thing all the time, but that can change as soon as variability hits,” explained Keith Chambers, vice president for manufacturing solutions at Aveva . “It takes more time to deal with new variations, products, formulations or customer requirements. It has a huge impact.” To address this and other production related challenges, manufacturers are implementing an expansive digital technology agenda. Despite a turbulent business climate, 98% of global manufacturers surveyed for Deloitte’s Digital Maturity Index survey have started a digital transformation journey compared to 78% in 2019. Respondents said technology investments accounted for 30% of their […]
