Many connected worker programs fail not because of technology, but because organizations lack a structured approach to change. This workshop introduces a practical A3 based framework to plan, execute, and sustain connected worker initiatives across sites. Participants will learn how to define the problem, align stakeholders, assign ownership, and build the communication, training, and governance needed for adoption at scale.

• Learn how to use A3 thinking to define the problem, clarify scope, and align teams around a shared transformation objective
• Understand how to map current and future states to identify gaps, root causes, and the operational barriers that slow connected worker adoption
• Apply structured stakeholder analysis to anticipate resistance, build support, and ensure the right people are engaged at the right time
• Use RACI models to establish clear ownership, accountability, and cross‑functional roles for connected worker deployment
• Build a communication plan that delivers the right messages to the right audiences and supports consistent, site‑level adoption
• Develop a training and sustainment plan that embeds new standards, reinforces behaviors, and ensures long‑term success across multiple plants
