Show me the value: Digital transformation in the water industry
Watch our two webinars on demand
The water industry is currently going through a major transformation. Challenges and key priorities are evolving, with focus shifting towards asset resilience, customer centricity and ESG, and along with it, a growing pressure to do and achieve more, with less.
Digital transformation and technologies are often talked about as one means to achieving the expectations that are placed upon water utilities. Leveraging the latest digital technologies and innovative approaches can help the industry become more efficient at managing and operating water assets. However, digital transformation should always be accompanied by tangible value creation for customers and the community, and this should always remain at the forefront of our mind.
Our two-part series goes beyond the why of digital transformation. We transcend the hype to focus on assisting water professionals in defining and deriving value from digital transformation investments.
Both webinars are underpinned by core tenets of digital transformation and value management, creating a foundation across the series.
