4. Many companies fall into the trap of a
technology-first mindset, believing that
technology alone can solve all their
problems and drive business success.
Technology can only enable.

5. When organizations prioritize technology over business strategy and user
needs, they risk overlooking critical considerations such as organizational
readiness, cultural resistance, and lack of training and support.
Without considering the needs of
the workforce attrition rises 23%
at a time of severe labor
shortages. - McKinsey

6. • 71% of digital transformation fails.
• 35% stall or are abandoned before
implementation

7. Think Big. Move Fast. Phase-In.
An ambitious transformation plan goes well
beyond cost cutting and driving operational
efficiency; it sets a higher performance
trajectory for the company, while building
agility, adaptability and resiliency.
Prioritize:
• Strategy over Technology
• Context over Content
• Human Centered Design VS Technology First

8. STRATEGY OVER TECHNOLOGY.

machine learning algorithms to optimize
production processes
• Characterized by the use of machines, devices,
and systems that work together to optimize
production processes
• Focuses on the optimization of production
processes through the use of advanced
technologies
• Industry 4.0
• Aims to create a more efficient, flexible, and
responsive manufacturing ecosystem
• Refers to transforming the manufacturing sector

CONTEXT OVER CONTENT

10. What information do
we need to get the
insights we want?
What insights do we
need to make more
informed decisions,
faster?
So how can we get to the
data to create the
information to give us the
insight to make better
decisions faster?
Lets discuss it with our
panel
HUMAN CENTERED DESIGN vs TECHNOLOGY FIRST
What data do we
collect to get the
information we
need?
