THE ESSENTIALS OF A DIGITAL SERVICE BUSINESS
COPPERBERG ONLINE SUMMIT
For the past couple of decades, the digital storm has been knocking down industries after industries. What makes you think you’re not next?
In this exclusive Copperberg Online Summit, we’re proud to present two exciting speakers who’ll walk us through on the essentials of creating a digital service business. With only 31% of organizations having a clear digital strategy, it’s time for the manufacturing sector to get ready, before it’s too late.
COMPETENCE NEEDED TO MAKE YOUR WORKFORCE READY
Digital is not only about technology. In fact, it’s mostly not; it’s first and foremost about people. Does your organization have the right skill-sets internally to thrive in the digital age? This session will cover not only the characteristics of people needed on both ends (in the office and technicians) but also the technical set-up needed to make your workforce digital ready.

DIGITAL VALUE CREATION
The main driver for digital transformation should not be a new technology or the hype around a specific tool (like Blockchain, AI, etc.), but the actual value that you want to create. To support managers in defining this value objective, the session will develop a model of three types of value that can be created with the help of digital technologies: platform, cost, and experience value. This can be used as a starting point to see how companies can improve their value proposition and only then move on to see what technologies could be helpful to achieve that.
