From Process to Platform – Laying the Groundwork for Digital Transformation

Featuring Opening Address by the Master Cutler, Philip Rodrigo and panel discussion including:
Philip Rodrigo – Master Cutler
Andrew Armstrong – Commercial Director, Brook Consult
Nicholas Leeder - Founder, Leeder & Co and recognised expert in industrial transformation

In partnership with Brook Consult, this high-impact morning and lunch event explores how strong operational foundations are essential for successful digital transformation in manufacturing businesses.

Whether you're a micro-business or a large manufacturer, you'll gain practical insight into where value is created (or lost) in your operations – and how to ready your business for digital investment.

We’ll examine the hidden inefficiencies that digital systems alone can’t fix, and introduce you to tools like the OPERI Framework, a practical approach to managing and improving operational performance as a launchpad for productivity, digitisation and growth.

What you’ll take away:
• A clearer understanding of your current operational maturity
• Tools to identify waste and non-value-adding activity
• Guidance on building digital readiness through structure and strategy
• Insights on support programmes to help you take the next step

With the Master Cutler opening the session and a lively panel discussion to follow, this is a must-attend event for ambitious businesses looking to make smart, sustainable progress.
