Digital transformation is no longer a future ambition for manufacturers – it’s a business necessity. But knowing where to start, which technologies to invest in and how to turn digital adoption into meaningful business value can still be a challenge.
In this episode of Industry 2Day, we’re joined by Sarah Gambrall, Head of Support Programmes at the West Midlands Growth Company, to explore what manufacturers can do to confidently begin and accelerate their digital transformation journey.
Drawing on Sarah’s experience leading business support programmes including Made Smarter West Midlands, we explore where manufacturers are getting stuck, what separates successful digital adopters from those that struggle to move beyond the planning stage, and why people, leadership and culture can be just as important as the technology itself.
We also discuss the importance of collaboration across the manufacturing ecosystem and why events such as Digital Manufacturing 2Day can help businesses share experiences, learn from one another and turn digital ambitions into action.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Where UK manufacturers are on their digital transformation journey
- How Made Smarter West Midlands is supporting businesses to adopt new technologies
- The most common barriers and misconceptions around digital transformation
- Why people, leadership and culture need to come before technology
- The role of skills and workforce development in successful digital adoption
- Common mistakes manufacturers make when investing in digital technologies
- What good digital adoption looks like in practice
- Why collaboration and events such as Digital Manufacturing 2Day matter
- What the future holds for digital manufacturing across the UK and West Midlands
