There are 3 silent (or sometimes loud) killers of digital projects in manufacturing... I've seen them over and over again. Here's what they are, and what you can do about them 🧵

Blocker 1: Data is trapped in siloed people and systems Fix it by mapping a key process end-to-end. Then ask: 👉 Who owns the data? 👉 How is it accessed? 👉 What decisions rely on it? Now pick ONE silo and make that data usable as simply as possible.

Blocker 2: Decision makers don’t see ROI ROI isn’t something you find later. You define it before you start. 👉 Pilot small 👉 Measure ruthlessly 👉 Speak in language they get: downtime, rework, hours saved

Blocker 3: No shop floor buy-in Frontline teams aren't just users, they're key partners. 👉 Involve them in the pilot 👉 Test early, get feedback 👉 Prove the goal is making their day easier

Digital transformation rarely fails because of bad tech, it fails because of data no one can access, ROI no one can prove and tools no one wants to use.

Start small. Solve real problems. Involve real people. What blockers are you running into in your projects?
