Webinar Description:
Let’s explore the concept of digital transformation and the disconnect between the idealistic vision of what it promises versus the practical realities of implementing it. While there is no doubt that digital transformation can offer significant benefits, such as improved efficiency and increased revenue, the process of achieving it can be complex, costly, and even counterproductive at times. We will examine the challenges companies experience when implementing digital transformation tools and strategies, including resistance to change, lack of expertise and resources, and the difficulty of integrating new technologies with existing systems.

Additionally, we will explore concepts such as Digital Twin, which have gained significant traction in recent years as a promising solution for effective asset management. Lastly, we will also discuss the importance of a clear strategy and strong leadership in successfully implementing digital transformation initiatives. Ultimately, we will argue that while digital transformation may be a utopian vision, it is still worth pursuing, provided that organizations are prepared to invest the time, money, leadership, and effort required to make it a reality.
