High Tech
Navigating change in the high tech industry
New technologies are enabling innovation and adaptability in the high tech electronics, software, hardware, OEM, and semiconductor industries.
Everything-as-a-service (XaaS) models
XaaS and consumption-based business models are on the rise, with many high tech companies now selling outcomes instead of products.
Chip shortages and supply chain disruptions
The chip shortage, the pandemic, and war have exposed major holes in tech supply networks. Leaders need end-to-end visibility to adapt.
Focus on customer intimacy
Innovation alone isn’t enough. Tech companies must compete on customer intimacy, leveraging deep insights to gain – and keep – trust.
Smart digital products
More customers are demanding smart digital products that can dynamically adapt to market, consumer, usage, and environmental needs.
