Digitally determined From Sloss ’ s perspective , there are still areas within UK manufacturing that have room for improvement .
“ Most UK companies are digitally distraught ,” he says . “ Businesses do things because they have to . There ' s no , ‘ We have KPIs . We have objectives , so we need to make these digital changes so that we can improve our business and hit these objectives ’. That ' s not how we act , we ' re digitally distraught .”
Sloss believes that more digitally determined businesses are recognising where they need to improve certain aspects , especially in regards to digital technology .
“ We can ' t underestimate the power of being digitally determined . It ' s a business transformation initiative and less expensive in the long run . More importantly , it enables companies to improve their earnings per share and add shareholder value ,” Sloss says .
