How CEOs transition their enterprise from material sciences to digital sciences
How should you implement strategic technology trends?
The answer is simple:
By driving digital transformation together with your CEO leadership
From my work, I have a digital transformation best practice for you to follow
Material science and digital science
Many of you know the materials science company primarily for its pressure-sensitive adhesives and adhesive tapes
And as they look to the future,
They’re boldly expanding their leadership in materials science with the help of digital science
Moving away from old environments
The company began its journey to the cloud like many of you
They needed to move away from their outdated data centers
Most importantly, they knew they needed a solid foundation to realize their digital transformation vision
Defining value, adoption and acceleration, and scaling
The company moved large volumes of applications,
Closed a large data center,
And moved 61% of its Tier 1 applications in one year
Digital building blocks in a cloud environment
It was particularly important for the materials research company to tap into the potential of data-driven insights
The various data sources were combined into digital building blocks in a cloud environment
Definition of four result areas
The materials science enterprise is transforming from materials science to digital science
This requires a different mindset and a different set of skills
The materials science company had to define the term ‘digital’
They defined it in four specific result areas
Laying the foundation, digital mindset and digital products
The company knew that 78% of digital transformations fail because of company culture
On their journey to digital transformation,
They have therefore learned the importance of developing a digital mindset across the organization and celebrating digital successes
Lessons learned
They are now looking forward to transforming the material science company
From a company with well-known material products to a company with iconic material and digital products
They are doing this in the cloud by
Defining the right outcomes,
Measuring and enabling progress,
And changing the culture of the company
