CWM Summit Day Two - October 15, 2026

9:10 AM Keynote Panel: How to Keep Momentum After the First 6–12 Months of a Technology Rollout

Many connected worker programs launch with strong energy, clear sponsorship and early wins, but the real challenge begins once the initial rollout is complete. Sustaining momentum requires disciplined governance, continuous capability building, cross functional alignment and a clear plan for scaling beyond the first wave of sites. In this keynote, leaders from Reynolds Consumer Brands and L3Harris Technologies share what it takes to maintain adoption, evolve standards, and embed connected worker tools into the rhythm of daily operations so the program continues to deliver measurable value year after year.

• Establishing the governance, ownership and operating model needed to maintain adoption and prevent regression after the first year
• Strengthening frontline engagement and capability building so connected worker tools become part of standard work, not a one time initiative
• Expanding from early pilots to multi site scale with consistent processes, shared learnings and clear value frameworks
• Integrating connected worker tools with existing systems, data flows and workflows to ensure long term relevance and operational impact
• Measuring progress, communicating wins and keeping leadership aligned so the program retains visibility, funding and strategic priority
