Age of Digital Disruption

Digital disruption has become one of the key talking points on everyone lips, many are excited about the changes but others are afraid. The topic was discussed at the 19th Annual OPEX Week: Business Transformation World Summit, in Orlando, hosted by PEX network. The event, which is the largest global event for the operation excellence ecosystem, outlined how the use of new and old technologies has the power to help business expand and succeed when used correctly.

Diving right into discussing digitization Nokia’s Senior Vice President Global Operations and Chief Procurement Officer, Johannes Giloth, spoke about how adapting the supply chain and trying to operate ‘like an e-commerce company’ you place yourself one step ahead of those afraid of change! Those that lag behind will eventually be forced to adapt, however a gap between the two will still remain – with the early adopters having a greater advantage and the later adopters falling short.

Procter & Gambles Vice President of Global Business Services and Next Generation Services, Tony Saldanha, rose this nicely in his session. Tony discussed that as technology and the markets change, what got you to where you are today will not be enough to carry you into the future. Disruption is happening at breakneck speed and in order to keep up, you need to aim above it. Tony made the case that you should look to leap-frog into 10X disruption which will help you to guarantee your future and success.

The question remains however how exactly can you do this?

Every business is different so what works for one won’t work for other, right?

Both of these questions rings true so PEX Network want to offer as much help as possible to anyone who is nervous or worried about the changes to come. On the back of the exciting discussions that took place at our conference in Orlando we have put together a brand new online event, OPEX Live 2018.
