Reflection of over 20 years of Digital Transformation Coaching

“When we started in digital transformations over 20 years ago, we came across the term NT + OO = EOO.  That formula means new technology plus old organisation equals expensive old organisation. The digital transformation coach and co-piloting that we do addresses both the value proposition that digital transformation offers our clients and ensures that the right cultural change elements are integrated into that program, and it’s not solely focused on technology.” 

Nick Leeder and Co. have developed a number of core offerings that help clients with digital transformations.  Firstly, we focus on igniting industry 4.0 transformations by helping companies understand their “why”.  With IgniteIt! we use something called the “Smart Industry Readiness Index” or SIRI, which helps companies focus on understanding the relationship between key performance indicators, their financial make-up and industry 4.0 technologies.  This benchmark assessment is spread across 16 defined dimensions that will help our customers focus on the areas that will have the most impact. 

The AccelerateIt! offering is our co-piloting of your transformation. Nick Leeder and Co does not lead the transformation for our clients, but we work with our clients to help them understand what needs to be done and guide them through this complex and challenging process of change.  We do this in areas like engineering, operations, and service, based on over 25 years of industrial experience.  

Nick Leeder, the founder, continued to comment.  “By engaging and listening, we create the spark that helps our clients be clear on what they need to achieve.  We help visualise their problems, goals and challenges and are clear on the barriers of success. This happens at all levels relevant to the transformation from the boardroom to the shop floor.  The UK government recently announced the advanced manufacturing plan with £4.5 billion worth of investment for the UK manufacturing sector over the coming years. This covers topics like sustainability goals and pushing towards Industry 4.0. These present considerable opportunities for UK manufacturing.” 

“With this recognition of being the best industrial transformation coach, we hope to be able to support the sector and our clients through their transformations. Not only help the UK PLC meet its goals like net zero by 2030, but also help our customers connect these improvements to valuable outcomes in their business.”
