With the digital revolution of the industrial era 4.0, new technologies are redefining how we interact within an organization. When we talk about optimization and performance, the interconnectivity of technologies leads companies to review their business processes, target waste and remedy it. The growing need for profitability and the labour challenges facing companies leave no choice but to adapt to changes.<\/p>\n

Business interconnectivity offers many benefits and contributes to the development and growth of the organization. Here are 10 main reasons why you should consider fostering interconnectivity in your business:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1- Improved communication<\/h3>\n

The interconnectivity allows a fast and fluid communication between the different departments and employees of the company. This promotes collaboration, facilitates information sharing and contributes to more effective decision-making.<\/p>\n

2- Increase operational efficiency<\/h3>\n

By connecting internal systems and processes, interconnectivity enables automated tasks and optimizes workflows. This reduces errors, duplication of work and inefficiencies, resulting in an overall improvement in operational efficiency.<\/p>\n

3- Real-time data access<\/h3>\n

Through interconnectivity, employees can access relevant information and data in real time. This facilitates decision-making based on current data and promotes responsiveness to changes and opportunities.<\/p>\n

4- Productivity enhancement<\/h3>\n

Interconnectivity automates repetitive and time-consuming processes, freeing up time for employees. This allows them to focus on higher value-added tasks, boosting their overall productivity.<\/p>\n

5- Improved customer experience<\/h3>\n

Better interconnectivity makes it possible to collect and share more accurate and comprehensive customer information. This allows us to offer a more personalized service, respond quickly to customer requests and increase overall customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n

6- Facilitating Innovation<\/h3>\n

Interconnectivity fosters the exchange of ideas and knowledge between the company\u2019s different teams and departments. This can stimulate innovation by enabling everyone to contribute their skills and expertise, and by fostering collaboration between fields of activity.<\/p>\n

7- Cost reduction<\/h3>\n

By improving operational efficiency, reducing errors and duplication of work, and automating certain tasks, interconnectivity can help reduce the cost of running the business.<\/p>\n

8- Strengthening data security<\/h3>\n

Well-managed interconnectivity allows for robust security protocols to protect enterprise data. When transferring data, no information is stored in the interconnection. Indeed, when the transfer is completed, all the data is erased automatically.<\/p>\n

9- Adaptability to change<\/h3>\n

In an ever-changing business environment, interconnectivity allows the company to adapt more quickly to changes. Interconnected systems can be added, removed, adjusted and reconfigured more easily to meet new requirements and opportunities. Any changes made to a software will not impact other interconnected software, which saves many development costs.<\/p>\n

10- Openness to the future<\/h3>\n

Interconnectivity is a key component of digital transformation, Industry 4.0 and the connected economy. By investing in interconnectivity now, your business will be better prepared to take advantage of emerging technologies and future growth opportunities.<\/p>\n

What about Gemba-Walk?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Gemba-Walk is a management method that consists of going to the real work site, where the operations take place, in order to observe, understand and improve the processes. By combining Gemba-Walk with interconnectivity, it is possible to bring many benefits to a company.<\/p>\n

First of all, the Gemba-Walk allows executives and managers to become familiar with the daily activities of the company. By visiting the workplace, they can observe operations in real time, ask questions of employees and get a concrete view of the challenges and opportunities. This promotes a deeper understanding of processes and allows for more informed decision-making.<\/p>\n

By adding interconnectivity to this approach, the benefits are amplified. Interconnectivity refers to the connectivity between different systems and technologies used in the enterprise. This may include the use of sensors, smart devices, supply chain management software, real-time tracking solutions, etc.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Interconnectivity enables the collection of valuable process data in real time. For example, sensors can measure machine performance, software can track workflows, and smart devices can provide information on inventory status. This real-time data can be combined with observations from the Gemba-Walk for better analysis and faster decision-making.<\/p>\n

By using interconnectivity, businesses can also automate certain processes, saving time and improving efficiency. For example, data collected in real time can trigger automated alerts or corrective actions to resolve issues quickly. The risk of errors is also reduced since the “copy and paste” aspect is avoided in the data transfer and any compliance or corporate standard is respected.<\/p>\n

Interconnectivity also facilitates communication and collaboration between the different actors in the company. Data and information can be shared more easily, promoting transparency and collective decision-making. Employees can access information relevant to their work, which allows them to better understand their impact on the entire company. Their work is also lighter because we avoid data compilation and printing and transferring papers, in addition to allowing them to focus on their real work.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In summary, the use of Gemba-Walk in combination with interconnectivity can help a business by providing a better understanding of processes, more informed decision-making, improved efficiency and collaboration. These approaches promote innovation, responsiveness and competitiveness in the marketplace.<\/p>\n
