Deep Dive Focus Day - October 13, 2026

9:00 AM Workshop A: Evaluating Emerging Technologies for Real ROI in Connected Worker Programs

As connected worker technologies evolve from wearables and AR to robotics, agentic AI, and autonomous decision support, the challenge is no longer finding new tools but identifying which ones deliver real ROI. This workshop helps leaders cut through vendor noise, evaluate technologies against operational reality, and build value aligned roadmaps that balance innovation with integration and workforce adoption. Participants will learn how to link emerging technologies to KPIs, assess maturity and fit, and design connected worker strategies that scale with confidence.

Learn a structured approach for evaluating emerging technologies based on value thesis, operational fit, and measurable KPI impact
Understand the hidden costs that drive the 60 percent failure rate in connected worker programs, including change management, integration complexity, and data readiness
Build the capability to distinguish "signal from noise" across a crowded vendor landscape and assess technology maturity, stability, and long‑term viability
Explore how to map use cases to business value and create a 12‑month connected worker roadmap tied directly to P&L outcomes
Gain practical methods for baselining with operational truth, quantifying ROI, and aligning digital investments with site‑level realities
Examine real‑world case studies that demonstrate how wearables, AR, robotics, and agentic AI can drive productivity, safety, and quality improvements when deployed effectively
