Challenges Businesses face in 2022 and beyond
In retrospect, lessons learnt when embarking on Automation and digital transformation journey had been:
- Where to start for the journey.
- A competent interface within the organization to translate the company’s business and operational requirements to Project User requirements.
- Effective management of the solution providers and contractors to ensure they understood and executed the User Requirements correctly.
- Projects falling short of getting Right First Time resulting in scope creep, schedule and budget overrun.
- Uncertainty in leveraging the latest industrial revolution technology including IIOT, data analytics, AI and cloud computing to fit to the business processes and operation philosophy.
- Lack of right collaborating partner.
- Lack of Involvement of company’s multidisciplinary stake holders.
- Tendency to use technology to fix broken processes, trying to implement piecewise systems and missing seamless integration.
- An unguided and unguarded project often led to only partial satisfaction, compromise on User Requirement Specification and faced Life Cycle Issues of Assets.
