Abstract

Key Points
• Operational Enablers are Crucial: Operational factors are consistently identified as the most influential enablers across multiple technologies. UK manufacturers aiming to implement industrial digital technologies (IDTs) must prioritise understanding these enablers to drive effective digital transformation.
• Tailored Approaches Needed: Enablers vary significantly across technology types. Firms should not adopt a one-size-fits-all approach but rather align enablers with the specific needs of each technology.
• Skills and Expertise: A skilled workforce is crucial for implementing complex digital technologies. Invest in upskilling workers and hiring expertise.
• Enhanced Government Support Needed: There is a pressing need for policymakers to create more effective strategies that encourage digital innovation and support businesses in their transformation journeys. .
