HOW TO START & STRENGTHEN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF YOUR DIGITAL OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE PROGRAM 

Marc Winkelman, Global Director, IWS Manufacturing Excellence Consultant, P&G 

​

• Research shows that some 70% of (digital) transformations fail as the organizational- and people foundations are not ready to accept/implement the (digital) transformation. However, most transformation projects at P&G do succeed, which rases just 1 question: ‘What does P&G do differently?’

• With IWS, Procter & Gamble/’s OPEX program, P&G builds leadership- and operator capability to drive continuous loss elimination, capability building, and engagement, all factors that are fundamental to transform an organization.

• The presentation shows a practical framework what leaders are expected to do to build the needed capability.

• The last practical action is how to decide for digital systems and become a smart factory.
