The OPEX & Continuous Improvement Summit Agenda, 1 of your 5 Unmissable Experiences Within BTWS 2027

The pressure on operational and process leaders has fundamentally shifted. It's no longer enough to run lean; organizations are now expected to run intelligently. Most operational excellence and continuous improvement programs were designed for a world without AI, and they need to evolve rapidly. The gap between where improvement methodology sits today and where enterprise value creation demands it to be is widening fast.

The OPEX and Continuous Improvement Summit, as part of BTWS (January 25-27 | Orlando, Florida) is designed to close that gap, exploring what it means to enable AI not as a tool layered on top of existing workflows, but as a critical part of how value flows through the organization end-to-end.For those looking to institutionalize strong value stream fundamentals to deliver AI-enabled end-to-end value.

Across two focused days, you'll explore how organisations are:

  • Reengineering processes as a foundation for AI deployment
  • Redesigning end-to-end processes into Intelligent Value Streams
  • Moving from Lean to Autonomous: the next CI operating model
  • Operationalizing AI without breaking the process
  • Measuring what matters: connecting process improvement to enterprise value
  • Building the AI-ready OpEx workforce
