Triple transformation: The key to the future of industry!

The transformation of industry is a central topic for companies of all sizes and sectors. According to OTS not only new technologies, but also changed business models, flexible working methods. Particularly noteworthy is the concept of "triple transformation", which combines digitization, sustainability and human beings.

In order to be prepared for the future, organizations must make their changes holistically. This requires a coordinated change in structures, strategies and attitudes. Companies face central questions: How will an organization become sustainable and resilient? What role do leadership, communication and cooperation play? And how can technological innovation be associated with social and ecological goals?

Transformation forum of the Industry 4.0

As part of this discussion, the transformation forum of the Industry 4.0 platform was launched to support companies in change. The aim of this forum is to strengthen the companies through scientific foundation, practical experience and interactive formats. The first part of the forum included three exciting lectures: Prof. Sebastian Schlund from Fraunhofer Austria and the Vienna University of Technology spoke about the "Triple Transformation" and their relevance for competitiveness. Peter Obermair von Formways GmbH and Stefan Novoszel from Tietoevry discussed the reasons for the failure of digitization projects and the success factors. Thomas Welser von Welser Profile presented the cultural change in his company, which is supported by employees: internal participation and a value -oriented attitude.

Roland Sommer, Managing Director of the Industry 4.0 platform, emphasized the need for visions, cultural change and cross -sectoral cooperation for the challenges of tomorrow. The next edition of the Transformation Forum is planned for autumn and takes place as part of the EU Interreg project "Twin City Future Innovation Manufacturing Hub" between Slovakia and Austria.

Green innovation as a perspective

An essential aspect of the transformation is the Green Innovation, which aims to make companies successful and at the same time act environmentally friendly. According to IHK , the focus must be on the adjustment of products, services, processes and business models. The various dimensions of the green innovation, including both technological changes and the integration of users, are crucial for the identification of added value.

Green Innovation includes numerous terms such as sustainable innovation, eco innovation and environmental innovation that are often used synonymously. They can be viewed both at the macro level, such as the change of global raw material and energy flows, as well as at the micro level, by improving energy and material efficiency in companies. The innovation management process plays a crucial role in converting these sustainable ideas into marketable products and opening up new markets and gaining competitive advantages.

summarized the current transformation of industry is a complex interplay of digitization, sustainability and human aspects. Companies have to face these challenges in order to remain sustainable and resilient. The platform Industry 4.0 and initiatives such as the Green Innovation offer valuable support in this process.
