Check out this fascinating conversation on digital transformation with SDE Technology and Warren Services.

People and technology are empowering businesses, reshaping manufacturing, and building the industries of tomorrow. In this podcast, our guests William Bridgman, Chairman at Warren Services, and Chris Greenough, Chief Commercial Officer at SDE Technology, share their ideas about Digital Transformation and offer advice to those looking to start their own journey.

We start by exploring how data can be leveraged to a company’s advantage and be used to improve processes and therefore, productivity and affordability. Inevitably, as businesses move forward in their digital transformation journeys, some jobs will become obsolete. We debate whether automation is actually a threat or an escape to improve jobs. Are robots freeing our employees time so they can use their brains? 

Furthermore, we discuss the fact that Digital Transformation can be too much of an abstract concept. Overthinking strategies and shaking the business to the core doesn’t always bring the expected results and can be damaging for the future of a company, draining valuable resources. We explore practical, low-risk ways to start the digital journey, which begins with engaging your employees and doing more while thinking less. 

To conclude, William and Chris share valuable, practical advice for leaders in the design and manufacturing industry in order to get them on their digital transformation journey. Digital transformation, if broken down into its simplest term, is nothing more than a way to look at businesses and figure out ways to do things better. The use of technology can enable that definition of better, by providing more people in the organization the information needed for them to do their job more effectively, and perhaps make them less fearful of change. The best place to start would be to ask yourself what does better look like for your company and develop a clear, actionable plan without overthinking it.
