Whether you are just beginning to innovate R&D processes with A.I or have begun your automation journey, understanding how to drive adoption, identify new use cases and innovate your R&D processes is vital.

An expert in digital transformation, join Dr. Michael Lang in uncovering how to take innovation at a sprint, quickly opportunity mapping areas where processes can be automated and developing solution concepts.

Join this session to find the next big automation opportunity, and to discover the power of sprinting towards an intelligent future.

When we discuss digital transformation, we don’t often mention the adaptation that must occur. Our systems and people, both analogue and digital, both new and old, must get to grips with new systems and more advanced data analytics. Older and bespoke systems may remain useful despite a growing focus on the digital, and needless forcing of them into the digital realm can do more harm than good. However, digitalisation must be built on digital interconnectivity and adapting older equipment to new digitalised systems is vital. Rather than focusing on the next tech solution, businesses can take a step back and ask what innovation can come from the environment around them, because as you transform systems, you must adapt yourselves.

Discovering which systems can undergo adaptation and which must be transformed helps to keep costs low and provide a focus on our digital priorities. Furthermore, each industry can remain insular in its practices, by engaging with different perspectives challenge yourself to find true digital harmony. Join this panel of experts as we discuss:

·       Adapting legacy systems that cannot be removed to fit new digital ecosystems

·       Ensuring new tools are implemented innovatively to maximise their cost-efficiency

·       Building interconnectivity into older systems and introducing adaption layers of digital communication

·       Upgrading skillsets and generating buy-in to ensure your workforce is digitally capable

·       Creating realistic and believable transformation plans that prioritise the efficiency of the upgrade
