Will you join us?

77% of frontline workers are disengaged, with nearly 15% actively opposing their organisation's leaders and goals.

Forbes 2024

In 2024, 80% of logistics, distribution and manufacturing organisations have increased their technology investments to meet growing pressure to drive efficiency and trim operating costs [McKinsey, 2024]. A significant portion of this investment is going towards AI integration, yet its success hinges on successful buy-in from your frontline workforce who are often disengaged and resistant to change.

 

With 70% of change initiatives failing due to lack of frontline buy-in [McKinsey, 2023], engaging your workforce is critical, especially in logistics, distribution, and manufacturing. Companies with highly engaged employees are 2.5x more likely to succeed in implementing change initiatives compared to those with disengaged employees [Oxford University, 2023].

 

The clock is ticking. How can you effectively engage your key workforce members to ensure successful digital transformation?

1

BCG on AI

BCG says that 54% of board members expect AI to drive down costs in 2025 – is this realistic?

2

Gartner on workloads

Gartner predicts that 95% of new digital workloads will be cloud-native. Are tech foundations in place for this?

3

BCG on IT budgets

BCG predicts a 40% rise in the proportion of IT budgets allocated to GenAI – is the risk appetite there to dive in?
