🎉 Attended the Scotland Manufacturing & Supply Chain Conference & Exhibition last week, and what an insightful experience it was! This year, I had the privilege of sharing our Digital Capability Assessment Service, funded by the Made Smarter Innovation - Smart Manufacturing Data Hub, which aims to support manufacturing SMEs on their digital transformation journeys. Through valuable conversations with manufacturing businesses and technology providers, I gained a key insight: While manufacturing SMEs have numerous options to begin their digital transformation journey to stay competitive, balancing these changes with day-to-day operations is a significant challenge. This makes our SMDH-funded service exceptionally timely, as it provides essential guidance to management teams navigating digital transformation. A big thank you to my dedicated colleagues and team – Luciana Blaha, Dr Tom Pfefferkorn, Bing Xu, Parinaz Pourrahimian, Randy Adjepong, John Oyelakin, Esber Oktay, Edmond Tinlin, Maria Alejandra Velazco – and to our funder, SMDH, along with Adam Turner. Special thanks to our partners Vyne Analytics Ltd., CeeD (Centre for Engineering, Education and Development), Interface - The knowledge connection for business, Joe Pacitti, and Howell Davies for their continued support. It was also an honour to speak at the event for the third consecutive year – looking forward to next year's opportunities and collaborations. 🌟 #DigitalTransformation #ManufacturingSMEs #SMDH #SmartManufacturing #SupplyChain #DigitalCapability #ManufacturingExhibition #Innovation
