The Real ROI of Technology in 2022 and Beyond | Uphoff on Industry

The Big Themes:


An update on the sale of Thomas to Xometry: Tony describes
how the two companies are fitting together and creating a
new kind of on-demand manufacturing marketplace.

What's the true ROI of technology these days? Following the
acquisition, Tony's been on a bit of a listening tour, having
lots of conversations with other business leaders, and a theme
that's emerged is uncertainty around the real impact that
new technology can have on a business. Tony has some important
ideas about this.

The role of CXOs in tech implementation: It's
essential that business leaders work to demystify new
technology for employees, and help their teams understand how
they fit into the new structure and processes it creates.



 


The Big Quote: "Technology is about growth. Yes, you might create
something more efficient. But if that increased efficiency
doesn't allow you to reallocate resources and push growth, then
frankly, I don't know that your shareholders are going to be
dazzled."
