Digital Enterprise Society is the authority on the transformation to a digital enterprise, impacting all areas of an organization.  Discussion among industry leaders about operations and action needed to drive digitalization principles forward for the future of product development and lifecycles.

On this episode of the Digital Enterprise Society podcast, Thom Singer and Craig Brown welcome Adam Specht, Product Development IT Director at DRiV Incorporated and Digital Enterprise Society Trustee.  As a speaker at the upcoming Siemens conference, Realize LIVE, Adam will be sharing his wisdom on how to avoid a PLM trainwreck, how to find greater success when encouraging people to invest in PLM, and how to make a successful transformation and adaptation to the new system.  

Adam shares his experiences — good and bad — of being part of a company consolidation and spin-off, and notes what has helped him successfully partner with new coworkers.  As a Digital Enterprise Society trustee, Adam shares his honest opinion of what anyone can expect from the society and why he decided to get involved with it after some initial reservations.  His presentation is going to be one of the highlights of Realize LIVE, and after listening to this podcast you’ll understand why.
