Coping with disruptive technology: Big Data, the cloud, IIoT, mobility, and social enterprise

Without question, if you are an Aerospace and Defense manufacturer, in order to transform and grow your business you need an understanding of the impacts of innovative and disruptive technologies. You are probably dealing with the effects of an ever-increasing velocity of change in the industry. Customers are demanding more from you whether it takes the form of managing more complex product requirements, ever-shrinking lead times, or simply the need to be "always on" 24/7/365. Supply chains are becoming more global – sourcing material from one country, managing cross-border logistics, and ensuring quality is maintained opens you to significant risk at each stage. Now, combine that with significant global change, an aging workforce, and the speed of technology innovation, it is no doubt you are left wondering what to do and how to make sense of it all.
