This research studies companies that have undertaken Industrial Transformation (IX) journeys, and asks the questions: Who is succeeding, and why? How are these leaders different than their peers? What we discovered is that there are fundamental differences, from corporate culture and org structure to how technology is used and managed, to how companies look at and use data. Not surprisingly, it all starts with goals: companies that have chosen the right goals – and the use cases that support those goals – have jumped ahead in achieving transformational results.
