I’ve watched dozens of companies implement AI over the past two years. Most treat it like a more sophisticated calculator, something to trim expenses and streamline existing processes. They’re missing the real opportunity. The companies that win don’t ask “Where can AI save us money?” They ask, “How can AI let us do things we couldn’t do before?

the potential for Dynamic Ecosystems in the Industrial Metaverse There is plenty of discussions around Industrial Metaverse. Recently I read four reports from BCG, Cap Gemini, Siemens and MIT explaining the merits of the Industrial Metaverse. All gave detailed outlines on the technology make-up for Industrial Metaverse but as so often is the case, plenty is implicitly assumed, rather than explicitly articulated (besides the technology).

You’ve identified inefficiencies. You have a clear roadmap. You know your improvement initiative can move the needle. What's next? You need executive buy-in. One of the most common challenges for CI and OpEx leaders is getting senior leadership to engage, support, and actively champion improvement work. It's not that leaders don't care about the performance of CI and OpEx initiatives, but because of a combination of perception gaps, systemic challenges, and competing priorities.

Robots are a cornerstone of a smart factory, automating a wide range of manufacturing tasks that are monotonous, physically straining, or even hazardous. However, real-world robotics deployments have not lived up to the revolutionary potential the industrial sector had originally envisioned. Robot implementations are typically confined to specific applications, carry high costs, and are time-consuming.

Leaders begin their role with the best of intentions. No one start out by thinking, “I want to make everyone’s lives miserable and undermine their performance.” Yet, we know many do just that. Most are thrust into the role, with very little training or development, because they were good at something else or there was simply a hole to be filled. In "Good Boss, Bad Boss," organizational psychologist Bob Sutton writes, “Devoting relentless attention to doing one good thing after another—however sm

The rapid rise of AI-powered displays, touchless technology, and sensory marketing is reshaping the future of in-store engagement.
