Addressing the Challenges of Digital Transformation Head On

Presentation Description

Digital Transformation within the NDT industry is often very difficult. Many attempts either never make it to the finish line, or don’t deliver expected results. Complex inspection processes and tightly controlled industry regulations make the implementation process complicated while also making the value proposition exceptionally high. Meaning that – if you are in the NDT industry, you know you need to move away from manual, paper-based processes, but the prospect of digitalization likely seems daunting and / or prohibitively time-consuming, and rightfully so.
In this interactive session, we will explore both the drivers, benefits, and ROI (return on investment) of going digital as well as the challenges and mistakes that can derail your efforts. Ms. Azari will begin the session by presenting the primary benefits and challenges of digital transformation. Then, every table will have a private 10-15 minute discussion on a single challenge related to digital transformation, sharing actual experiences and/or concerns and discussing effective ways to address them. One member from each table will summarize their conclusions to the entire group by answering a set of structured questions and answers about their topic.
Join this session to share your own experiences with digital transformation, learn from others who are making headway, and explore a myriad of ways to enhance your digitalization journey. This session is designed for managers, leaders and inspectors who are all affected by the processes and tools utilized every day and who have the desire to make a positive difference to their company’s long-term success.
