Operational excellence (OPEX) remains a vital focus for organizations across various sectors. As a strategic imperative, OPEX enhances company processes, from modernizing systems and improving performance to reducing overheads and boosting customer loyalty. It provides essential business value, driving innovation and maintaining competitiveness in an ever-changing business environment. However, achieving and sustaining operational excellence is not without its challenges.
Today’s key challenges in operational excellence & process improvement include:
- Digital Transformation and Technology Integration
- Data Overload and Utilization
- Regulatory Compliance and ESG Standards
- Cost Management vs. Quality and Innovation
- Workforce Transformation and Skill Gaps
- Cultural Resistance to Change
- Supply Chain Disruptions and Complexity
- Customer Expectations and Experience
To address these challenges and find solutions, we are organizing the World OPEX & Process Innovation Summit in Berlin, Germany on October 10 -11, 2024. This cross-industry event will provide the perfect platform to network with the best in the industry and gain insights into the latest technologies, methodologies, and practical solutions for tackling the challenges and opportunities in today's rapidly evolving business landscape.
Here are the key themes covered in this two-day summit:
Technological Innovations That Enable Continuous Improvement

Redefinition of OPEX Approaches With Workforce Transformation
OPEX involves more than merely establishing effective and efficient processes to ensure consistent output with minimal variation and waste. It also requires the integration of culture, people, resources, and systems to achieve optimal synergy.
