DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AND HR: PLAYING A ROLE, MAKING AN IMPACT

In 2023, the predominant trend in remote/hybrid workforce management will be the
ongoing rapid integration of technology and the workplace, resulting in the
digital transformation of HR departments. Fairly or unfairly, the perception of
HR from most company leaders is that they are focused on compliance and risk
reduction.

HR needs to work with business leaders to define a strategic sourcing model to
which the organization can commit. It's important for HR to recognize that
building a sustainable capability in-house is a huge undertaking, requiring
leadership, people development, career paths, roles and skills clarification,
and a culture of lifelong learning and feedback.

Without the workforce properly prepared in advance to engage, transformation
efforts are dead on arrival and a waste of money, according to research cited by
Harvard Business Review indicating that without these advance preparations, "70
percent of corporate transformation efforts are doomed to fail.”

 * Understanding why a change in leaders’ thinking about HR’s future role is
   critical to future digital transformation is required
 * Suggestions on how to actively leverage technology to steer people's strategy
   in a future-focused way
 * Why legacy tools, manual processes, and competing daily priorities hinder
   being data-driven
 * The collaboration necessary for digital transformation to occur
 * Tool specification requirements to aid in employee data management, on and
   off-boarding of employees, performance management, and managing the hiring
   process.

SYNCHRONIZED SURFING: DON’T GET CRUSHED

Keeping your people in synch with your vision for change

AI is great. Radical. Tubular, even. It has valuable applications right now. But
your teams are made of real people - no artificial ingredients. If you’re amped
up to explore AI solutions to your business problems, remember this: Even small
changes in technology will cause ripples in your organization. AI is a tidal
wave.  Surfing that wave is hard as an individual. At the organizational level,
it’s synchronized surfing.

Your OCM team is your Organizational Change Management (OCM) team is your
lifeguard. We have developed an approach and a set of tools to help people to
thrive in changing environments. If you want to surf the AI wave, you need
everyone on “board”. OCM can be the difference between a sick ride and a
wipeout. 

Some key things you'll take away from this webinar:

 * How, by leading with Trust, Collaboration, and Empathy, you can change the
   way you are trying to drive change
 * Poor human skills can crush any transformation and are as important as
   technical skills (if not more important) 
 * You can develop better human skills through a time-boxed, iterative process
 * You can have innovation without alienation
 * There is a proven, effective approach to building trust and enabling change
   in any organization

UNLEASHING THE DIGITAL TWIN TO ENABLE & OPTIMIZE THE WORKPLACE

Goal: Establish a Digital Ecosystem to Enable Optimized Performance in 90-Days
through a Non-Intrusive Shadow Technology
 
After more than three years of lockdowns, many facilities are finding themselves
struggling to find workers.   With the technological Tidalwave, the competition
is growing to address rising costs.

ERPs provide linear Supply/Demand planning. However, the non-linear complexities
of Sales and Operational Planning (S&OP) and Supply Chain Risks continue to
cause havoc in the workplace resulting in firefighting and non-value-added
activities costing companies millions while losing customers. Real-Time
monitoring and decision-making are therefore required in order to reduce the
impact of the dynamic complexities of the Supply Chain (Plan, Source, Make,
Deliver, Return).  The solution requires a Real-Time, Data-Driven Digital Twin
with integrated Neural Networks to leverage Artificial Intelligence, and enable
dynamic learning (not available in ERPs).

This Webinar demonstrates how digital twin technology can leverages learning
algorithms using Neural Networks (AI) to generate sustained benefits that enable
the workers to maximize their performance, drive sustained profitability, and
exceed customer requirements.

Please join us for an insightful webinar demonstrating capabilities and
providing you with a proven 90—Day Roadmap to AI Digital Twin Sustainability.
 * The Dynamic Supply Demand Planning Volatility Uncertainty Complexity
   Ambiguity (VUCA) World
 * Unleashing the AI-Learning (Shadow) Data-Driven Digital Twin™
 * Digital Twins – Enabling the Effective Worker
 * 30-Days Digital Visibility | 90-Days to Real-Time Prescriptive Process
   Control
 * Incorporating Chatbots and Generative AI within the Workplace
 * The SMART Workerless Factory
