Set business objectives
Business Objectives are set by the CEO and senior leadership team in accordance with the organization’s vision and mission
These objectives are the north star of transformation initiatives, with the other four swim lanes in alignment with and in support of these objectives.
Establish strategic initiatives
Strategic initiatives align resources and focus efforts to achieve specific business objectives
Membership supports your strategic initiatives across:
- Industrial Transformation Readiness
- Factory of the Future
- Autonomous Plant
- Quality 4.0
- Sustainable Operations
- Future of Industrial Work
Understand the operational architecture
Operational architecture is the connective tissue between strategic initiatives and solution selection
A solid operational architecture:
- Aligns IT and OT groups, technologies, and requirements.
- Answers build vs. buy questions.
- Defines the role of infrastructure, platforms, and applications.
- Manages the risk of vendor lock-in.
- Ensures sustainability and scalability of solutions.
- Simplifies and minimizes the number of disparate systems.
- Defines the role of legacy, cloud, and edge.
- Ensures successful data and analytics models.
- Establishes the future vision and value of digital twins.
Select a research-based solution
Solution Selection is a critical component of Industrial Transformation that must:
- Effectively identify the needs of users and executives.
- Build a defendable and achievable business case journey.
- Effectively scan and assess market players - free of an internal and external bias.
- Gain organizational buy-in.
- Align to the architecture and roadmaps of the organization.

Change Management is where transformational strategies become reality for the rest of the organization
