What are smart operations?
A smart-“er” operation uses digital capabilities to drive higher performance outcomes versus a baseline. Smart operations applies these capabilities at an enterprise scale.
This application of novel digital solutions has helped some organizations overcome their most persistent operations challenges and has unlocked new opportunities for growth and innovation for others. The coverage of these human + digital capabilities is also expanding into every aspect of the business, including factories, the salesforce, HR, IT, and more.
This increased utilization of modern digital tech, such as IIoT, cloud, AI, and analytics, has fundamentally changed the way leading organizations operate in ever smarter ways—by blending together digital and human intelligence at increasing levels of scale, scope, and complexity.
Our goal at Deloitte is to be your partner of choice as you go through this journey. We believe we have the most robust offerings in the marketplace to assist you in this smart transformation.
