Navigating Complexity on the Road to Digital Transformation
Wesco is a Business Reporter client.
Today’s leaders know that technology can benefit their business. According to one study, 87% of business executives believe digital technologies will disrupt their business, yet the majority don’t feel prepared for the disruption. Research also has shown that most Internet of Things (IoT) pilots fail to scale.
The world is digitalizing across nearly all industries, promising to revolutionize productivity, safety, customer experience and more. Harnessing the true potential of this shift requires a clear vision and strategy, technical expertise and a partner in digital transformation.
Managing complexity is frequently a significant hurdle in achieving transformation, and business leaders often find themselves navigating many siloed systems and technologies. True transformation also requires an open mind, curiosity and a willingness to install changes across teams.
Wesco sees digital transformation as the process of leveraging digital tools to improve operational efficiency and capture data that informs insights, providing value to a business and its stakeholders. It takes time to achieve transformation, but digitalization can increase productivity, extend equipment life and drive new revenue streams to ultimately create a competitive advantage for your business.
