ConX19 brought individuals from around the globe and more than 100 organizations for discussions and workshops that provided methods for enabling end-to-end enterprise transformation. Attendees learned best practices for tangible organizational change and cultural change that deploy sustainable continual improvement throughout the organization. Speakers presented lessons learned with combining CM2, lean principles, and agile methodologies to achieve maximized business value. The leaders in AI/AR, PLM, ERP, MES, QMS, and CLM solutions provided guidance on digital transformation through cutting-edge advancements in technology. IpX along with our cross-industry visionaries lead topics that demonstrated the need for a modern approach to business strategy that integrates the future state roadmap of the enterprise.
IpX President Joseph Anderson opened ConX19 with a demand for organizations to Wake Up. Product and process defects, especially those that cause harm, should not be the accepted norm. Stop asking "What's the ROI?" or "What's the business justification?" and start understanding that enterprise improvements and changes can't be achieved without first inspiring, empowering and engaging your people. IpX is your Enterprise Sherpa. We roll up our sleeves and deliver the work many are afraid to do.
