Addressing Siloed Organizations with New Incentives Joseph Anderson – Vice President, The Institute for Process Excellence Download the presentation (PDF) Companies organized in traditional siloes can make business process transformation difficult. PLM tools and methods, which can be customized or configured in many different ways, can further exacerbate this problem due to their somewhat inflexible data models, workflows, and UIs. However, it is easy to blame the technology as being the source of the problem. This presentation will explore the role of new data models, new incentives, and new business approaches in addressing these challenges. |

Panel 2: Functional Area Requirements and the Impacts on Digital Enterprise Transformation Organizational transformation is one of the most difficult things for a company to do. Ingrained culture, processes, and mindsets make it difficult, in not impossible, to do something new in many cases. Further compounding the challenge is the role that new digital technologies play in the inflammation flow within an organization, which is often conflicting with traditional information flows, as each functional area had it ownership and requirements for each portion of the process. this panel will explore how the needs of those stakeholders can enable or disable the ability for an organization to make a digital transformation.

Moving Laggards to Early Adopters (maybe even Innovators) Krish Suryanarayan - Expert : Digital Manufacturing (Operations Practice), McKinsey & Company Download the presentation (PDF) The Presentation will focus on what happens when technology is implemented, or processes are changed, and subject-matter experts (SME) are note engaged soon enough. Most organizational models over time devolve into siloed organizations. As PLM tools function as a repository of product and process information and a backbone for moving information, organizations often have the infrastructure to exchange product an process information across the enterprise if infrastructure, data models, and stakeholders allow. Yet, organizational change that involves altering ingrained processes and practices is often met with resistance and a lack of adoption. Modern enterprises require technically detailed, complex PLM solutions and methods to support increasingly complex products. |
