1:30 PM Workshop J: Scaling Connected Worker Technology for Safer, More Efficient Operations

Scaling connected worker technology requires more than technical readiness. Organizations must overcome barriers related to cost justification, infrastructure, cybersecurity, workforce adoption, and pilot limitations. This session explores how to build a holistic strategy that addresses the full value chain, aligns with business goals, and fosters a culture of change to support enterprise-wide deployment.

Key Themes:

  • Recognizing upfront investment in hardware, software, and infrastructure as a foundation for long-term value
  • Quantifying ROI through reduced risk, productivity gains, and strategic impact
  • Building persuasive business cases that highlight transformation beyond cost savings
  • Aligning pilot projects with business goals to demonstrate value
  • Overcoming legacy challenges by addressing fragmentation and integration barriers
  • Designing scalable architectures that support evolving operational needs
  • Identifying the right stakeholders across Operations, EHS, IT/OT and executive leadership to ensure organizational readiness and effective sponsorship
