Connected CEO™ is Frost & Sullivan's leadership platform that empowers CEOs to survive and thrive in the Intelligence Revolution by leading enterprise transformation, prioritizing growth opportunities, and accelerating transformational growth.
Why Do Most Transformations Fail? Why Implementation Has Become the New Competitive Edge
Connected_CEO

A leadership perspective from David Frigstad, Chairman & CEO, Frost & Sullivan.

Every leadership team has a strategy. Most have identified the right growth opportunities. Many have invested heavily in technology, AI, innovation, and transformation. Yet nearly 70% of strategic transformations fail to create lasting business value.

Why?

Because the real challenge is no longer strategy, it is implementation.

AR-centric Augmented Connected Worker
Advancing Workforce Readiness at Scale: Benchmarking Connected Worker Platform Leaders Advancing Frontline Productivity

Skilled labor shortages, retiring expertise, and rising shop floor complexity are making frontline execution a business-performance issue for manufacturers. Connected worker platforms are gaining relevance as enterprises look to preserve operational knowledge, reduce training friction, and improve task consistency across maintenance, assembly, inspection, quality, and field support workflows.

The value of augmented reality (AR) in manufacturing is moving beyond visual guidance. Digital and AR-enhanced work instructions, remote assistance software, and AI-enabled knowledge support are becoming connected execution capabilities that reduce dependency on scarce experts and strengthen productivity across distributed sites.
