Industry 4.0 and the digital age has dawned and many companies are endeavoring to transform from their industrial age business model, products, services, and processes and become a digital age corporation with a business model, products, services and processes that leverage the capabilities of digital technologies. This changeover is far more than just an IT upgrade, it normally requires a complete transformation of the business systems, organization, and often the culture of the company.
PPI has established consulting and training programs to guide a company through this process. It starts with as assessment of the opportunities and readiness of the business to make a digital transformation. This assessment is based on research conducted by the Institute for Digital Transformation. With these in hand, a digital changeover strategy is developed using a proprietary version of the business model canvas tool. PPI will then assist the company with the identification of projects, partners and suppliers needed to transform the company. Throughout this changeover, PPI can provide coaching, consulting, and training for the organization to assist in the journey to a digital age enterprise.
There is no "one size fits all" digital transformation approach. The mix of digital technologies such as IoT, cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, digital platforms, analytics, digital twins, cyber security, automation, virtual/augmented reality and blockchain technologies needs to be different for each company. It depends upon the industry, the economic conditions, the products and services offered, and current corporate culture. PPI leverages the work of the Digital Transformation Institute and PPI's network of over 150 digital service providers to cocreate with the client a customized solution for the client’s digital transformation. We work with the client to determine the best approach that is consistent with their overall business strategy and financial position.
