Addressing a fractured industry – what are the three things vital to survive in Industry 4.0 Dr. Harry Teifel www.progressusdigital.com November 2018
4IR has multiple implications 4IR implications Leveraging the power and creativity of customers Combined effect of disruptive Technologies Networked and multi-party value creation and innovation Ever-changing combination of competencies Data as driver of competitiveness
4IR means greater competition and shake-out + Level of Competi- tiveness in industries Time The 4IR game doesn’t allow anyone to abstain from playing. External Technology-enabled drivers dictate change and the need for constant organizational improvement. Competition drives new competitive benchmarks for all that players that operate in the market; this becomes the new standard. Ultimately there is a shake-out battle between successful 4IR-adoptees - and those who are unable to compete. With this cycle repeating itself. Progressus supports clients in translating and dealing with 4IR-world realities. New Technologies are available and allow for performance improvement Adopters increase their competitiveness and disruption is initiated Competition in the market moves to a higher level as benchmark Traditional players can’t keep up, a shake-out occurs and the cycle repeats itself
