To gain an edge in today’s competitive business environment, industrial equipment companies must digitally reimagine the products and services they offer. They must innovate to drive value across crucial business functions and ensure higher returns on digital investments (RODI). However, based on our research, a mere 20% have been successful in redefining their services, earning higher than average ROIs. While the others earn an ROI lower than the industry average, irrespective of how much they scale their investments. This implies that simply scaling investments doesn’t guarantee success but requires a more holistic market opportunity analysis process to gain the much-needed market and customer insights.
