4:35 PM Keynote Panel: Fixing the Foundations That Turn Islands of Insight into Enterprise Scale ROI

Pilots often deliver impressive results, yet organizations struggle to replicate that success across multiple plants, value streams and regions. This panel explores the real reasons scaling stalls, from fragmented data and inconsistent standards to capability gaps and leadership misalignment. The conversation will highlight how process mapping, cross functional workshops, data integrity frameworks and clear operating models create the foundation for enterprise wide transformation. Participants will share practical lessons on moving from theory to execution, building internal capability and creating the pull needed for sustainable digital adoption.

• Understanding why pilots succeed but enterprise scale fails, including the impact of siloed data, inconsistent processes and organizational politics
• Exploring how structured process mapping and capability building enable teams to expand transformation autonomously rather than relying on central resources
• Examining how data integrity, master data and common operating models reduce variability and support confident decision making at scale
• Discussing the leadership mindset shift required to move from academic theory to practical execution, including how to build pull from plants rather than push from corporate
• Identifying the few critical operational problems that drive the majority of value and how focusing on these accelerates ROI, resource justification and organizational alignment
