From Customer Experience to Service Experience, organizations are facing unprecedented challenges for how to revamp how their products are lived. New methodologies and buzzwords make it challenging to align in a direction and follow through to implementation.
Join us for a two-hour session to understand how manufacturing organizations can break away from indecision and implement a common-sense approach to innovation. We’ll kick off with a panel discussion featuring a group of professionals from technology, robotics, software, and consulting industries and then break off into smaller groups to discuss ways to apply digital transformation principles to your organization.
This event is open to product designers, managers, directors, and executives who are seeking to learn and apply best practices to their organization’s innovation journey.
