I feel honored that I have been asked to speak at the IIoT Talk in Berlin, organized by Global Manufacturing Strategies, based in UK. In my speech I discussed “IIoT as an enabler for Business Model Innovation” and emphasize on the following aspects:
- Digital Transformation is often associated with optimization, efficiency, and faster processes in business and production (Industry 4.0)
- Optimization, and technology are the easiest part of Digital Transformation. To really digitalize a business will shake up the entire corporation
- New business models are crucial for businesses to survive in the digital age . With that comes the necessity to change corporate culture
- Digital transformation requires a holistic view at the organisation, the products, and the business model
My presentation also gave advice on where to start, especially for SMBs (Small and Medium Businesses).
