the components too , and then being able to feed that back into an organisation ’ s ESG programme to measure against that , I think is something that will be amazing to see evolve ,” says Liddell .
Best Practices for Adopting Digital Design Capabilities As manufacturers digitally transform their organisations , Nowoswiat expects there to be challenges in implementing these changes and potential resistance . “ Therefore , it ’ s important to ensure that everyone from management to the workforce understands the reason for the changes , so that the full benefits of digital design and digital manufacturing can be realised ,” he says .
Adding to Nowoswiat ’ s comments Liddell adds : “ The one thing is ‘ don ’ t try to boil the ocean ’. It ’ s still always start small , but think big . Be able to have the end goal in mind , but initially focus on trying to optimise a particular line or quality issue . A lot of the time organisations try to tackle too much at once , and they get caught up . Change management is also important . It can be perceived as a large expense without having return on investment to build a business case . So starting small , and utilising pilots helps to advance the vision .”
