  • Summary

  • We’re living in a time where change happens fast. Whether it’s directed by the needs of consumers, changes in regulation or worldwide events like a pandemic, industries of every persuasion require the ability to adapt swiftly. When a single change to a product translates to hundreds, even thousands, of alterations in manufacturing specifications and procedures, how does an organization make those changes without significant financial consequences?  This is where product lifecycle intelligence comes into play. An integrated program including lifecycle management, smart product, and process design, and production design optimization is the difference between potentially crippling product alterations and seamless adaptation.  Riding the heels of our last episode, we’re back with Suzanne Kopcha who is responsible for industry strategy for consumer products, and Alastair Orchard, one of the first to shape the company's digital enterprise portfolio.
