Abstract

This IDC Perspective provides an overview of the IDC European Future of Operations Digital Summit 2022, which took place on June 14. The online event provided insights and best practices around operations management across operations-intensive industries. Executives from end-user organizations, IDC experts, and vendor partners shared insights and hands-on experience about the digital transformation journey, the role that digital technology plays in daily operations, the vision of lights-out operations, the importance of a hyperconnected digital environment, and the relationship between sustainability and financial returns.

"Operations is a cornerstone of organizational business, profitability, sustainability efforts, and operational resiliency. As confirmed by summit speakers, technology, organization, processes, and collaboration ecosystems must merge to create a complex, sustainable, living organism. This will contribute to creating a bigger purpose for future generations." — Senior Research Director Jan Burian, IDC Future of Operations Europe Practice.
