The technology space has been evolving for the past 20 years from simple to now complex business process management (BPM) suites and tools, and workflow process automation solutions. In addition, data analytics services and solutions, robotic process automation (RPA), ai/ ml technology, as well as process mining, have been gaining huge momentum in the process improvement space over the past 6-7 years. These remain leading digital transformation technologies and have become an essential toolkit for growing and mature companies to implement in different areas to drive business process transformation, operational intelligence, operational effectiveness and performance.

Digital transformation benefits, such as developing a competitive edge, have become a huge driving force for companies. Transformation is a must, yet digital transformation tools and technologies are constantly evolving meaning the digital transformation leader needs to stay on top of these new trends, so they do not get left behind.

Ahead of Strategic Transformation & Operational Excellence Europe 2023, we asked over 1000 transformation leaders to evaluate the key technologies that make up the essential digital transformation toolkit, to help you drive your digital adoption, operational intelligence, agile change management and business transformation in the new world.

As the entire world adapts to the developing situation, operational excellence and an outstanding process management contingency plan will be the defining factor that allows companies to navigate this period of crises. Before the current pandemic, our recent PEX Report found that 35% of industry leaders viewed Operational Excellence as ‘a mission-critical strategy to help the organization to drive growth, manage turnaround and deliver strategic objectives’. With this unforeseen shift across all industries, there can be no doubt that OPEX has become even more critical to a companies’ success. The global pandemic has forced a disruption of current practises and in response, businesses will need to drive innovation further than ever before to navigate the instability. As a result, 2020 is set to be a year of OPEX renaissance.

In the lead up to OPEX Europe 2020 we discuss 6 of the largest trends set to take 2020 by storm, to keep you at the forefront of innovation and inspire the next step in your journey toward operational excelle

OPEX Week Europe Presents:

Virtual Interactive Discussion Groups
23 – 25 June 2020

In 2020, businesses across the world have been at the forefront of unprecedented operating conditions in the wake of COVID-19.

In today’s extraordinarily disruptive business environment, the role of the OPEX leader has both broadened and become laser focused. If there is anything the recent pandemic has made clear, it’s the importance of OPEX. Now, not only does the business look to you to deliver world-class performance, but also to lead them through these trying times, stronger and more seamlessly than ever.

In 2020, OPEX leaders have a complex strategy to execute: How to accelerate business transformation through process, people and digital excellence, and respond to operating in a world that changes daily.

Transformation by nature is fraught with complexities, growing pains and opportunity for error. Organisations have their own unique DNA of strategy, people, process and technology. In the wake of a global pandemic, now more than ever businesses have to move from re-strategizing the ways in which they work, to operating on a whole new ecosystem. There is no rulebook to prescribe a one-stop solution for executing operational excellence.

Businesses are going to be reliant on OPEX leaders to carry them through periods of disruption to come out stronger on the other side. It’s never been more important to compare notes, ideas and solutions with fellow OPEX Leaders across Europe in order to develop and deliver a high functioning, resistant and sustainable Operational Excellence and Business Transformation Strategy.

We are bringing OPEX Europe business leaders together as a community NOW so you are able to learn from one another, debate one another, and find the best ways forward for your organisation in this environment of unprecedented disruption and change. The Virtual Interactive Discussion Groups are the ideal way to connect with, benchmark with and learn from European peers as you adapt to a world that changes daily.

The Virtual Interactive Discussion Groups are exclusively for OPEX and Business Transformation Leaders from across Europe to discuss short and long term Operational Excellence strategies, tactics and technology to adapt, overcome and improvise in the wake of business upheaval.
