04 Become a future enterprise

Future-oriented enterprises should have the following basic characteristics: first, efficiency, second, innovation, third, agility, and fourth, collaboration. The importance of efficiency and innovation has been discussed above. Next, we’ll explore the importance of agility and synergy.

REM611 Manufacturing has traditionally been an industry that relies on planning and standardization. However, in order to adapt to the rapid changes in technology, market and competitive environment, agility and collaboration are no longer optional added advantages, but the key elements of business survival and development. For the manufacturing industry, agile transformation is not only reflected in the flexibility of software systems, the rapid iteration of physical products, but also the agile adaptation of industrial manufacturing processes. At the same time, improving the synergy within the enterprise, as well as between the enterprise and users and ecological partners, is also one of the main goals of digital transformation.

What role does technology play in enterprise change? You can’t have technology for technology’s sake. Transformation is the same, not transformation for transformation’s sake. Today, whether artificial intelligence can play its huge potential value, the development of the technology itself is important, but whether it can achieve large-scale application landing is the key.

For manufacturing enterprises, when deciding whether to invest in a new technology, they need to consider the following key factors: First, the commercial impact, that is, whether the new technology can bring substantial and quantifiable business benefits to the enterprise; The second is flexibility and agility, whether the technology can make the enterprise operation more flexible, more responsive, more independent decision-making; Whether new technologies can help break down communication barriers within and outside the organization, as well as between the organization and all parties in the value chain (including users), enhancing overall connectivity, interaction, and collaboration; Finally, the development potential and scalability, whether the new technology has the potential to scale in a wider range of fields, and promote the optimization and even reshaping of the way enterprises operate and manage.

REM611 In enterprise transformation, the role of technology cannot be ignored, but it must not be “technology for technology’s sake”. By the same token, corporate transformation is not just about transformation itself. Today, whether artificial intelligence can play a huge potential value, the development of the technology itself is important, but whether it can achieve large-scale application landing is the key.

There is still a long way to go before Chinese enterprises go global. Today, it is not a simple “production capacity going out”, the future focus of Chinese enterprises’ globalization is how to make “products go in”.
