Industry 4.0 will change the way industries operate and the way people work.

Jan Mrosik, former CEO of Siemens Digital Factory, said —

Digitalization is disruptive. Only those will stay competitive who understand its power, leverage its opportunities and become true digital enterprises.

Disruption is all about change. It would seem that to remain competitive, asset-intensive organizations must —

• understand and learn about the possibilities

• leverage the opportunities, and

• become true digital enterprises

That’s a tall order. The answer to the question “Why change?” is starting to emerge.
