  • Technology Vs Operational Excellence: Do You Have to Choose?
    Jun 14 2025

    Key Highlights:

    • The idea that you must choose between tech and operational excellence is a myth.
    • Technology can (and should) be integrated at any stage of your OE journey.
    • Mature OE cultures see faster ROI when adopting smart technologies.

    A common misconception still lingers in many manufacturing environments: that leaders must pick one strategic direction—either commit fully to operational excellence or embrace digital transformation. In reality, this is a false dilemma. The most effective leaders in the sector are not choosing between one or the other—they are building synergy between both.
