ROKLive Digital Strategists Conference   


June 10th - 5:15 PM - 5:45 PM CDT
Building a Successful Digital Transformation Strategy

Our client experiences have shown that a manufacturing company's success with industrial digital transformation is determined up-front; long before any technology is evaluated or implemented. However, planning for industrial digital transformation is usually the least understood and most under emphasized part of the journey. In this session, we will discuss the topic of getting started with digital transformation, the key roadblocks we have uncovered, and the tools used to move forward with confidence.
