Deep Dive Focus Day - February 2, 2027

8:30 AM Masterclass B: Turning Connected Worker Pilots into Enterprise-Wide Impact

Many manufacturers have demonstrated the value of Connected Worker technologies through successful pilots and site-level deployments. Yet recent industry research shows that while 84% of manufacturers report measurable value from digital initiatives, only 20% successfully scale those use cases across multiple sites. The challenge is no longer proving the technology works. The challenge is creating the governance, change management, operational alignment, and technology foundation needed to replicate success across the enterprise.

This in-depth masterclass, led by Joris Stolk, Head of Total Productive Maintenance and Digital Innovation, CCU (Heineken JV), explores the strategies, governance models, technology foundations, and organizational change practices required to scale Connected Worker programs across the enterprise. Through practical frameworks, real-world examples, and peer discussion, attendees will learn how leading manufacturers are moving beyond isolated successes to establish sustainable, repeatable programs that deliver measurable business value at scale.

Attendees will learn how to:

Develop a structured roadmap for scaling Connected Worker initiatives from pilot projects to enterprise programs
Identify the organizational, cultural, and technical barriers that commonly prevent successful expansion across multiple facilities
Establish governance frameworks that support consistency, accountability, and sustainable program ownership
Create an effective balance between enterprise standardization and site-level flexibility
Build the business case for continued investment by defining KPIs, measuring outcomes, and demonstrating value to executive stakeholders
Align IT, OT, operations, maintenance, reliability, and frontline teams around shared transformation objectives
Overcome workforce resistance and drive long-term adoption through effective change management and communication strategies
Integrate Connected Worker solutions with existing operational systems to create a scalable digital ecosystem
Capture lessons learned from early deployments and apply them to future rollouts
Develop a practical action plan for accelerating enterprise-wide adoption while maximizing business impact
