Playing defense: Companies are taking a cautious approach to disruption paid Deloitte
We often hear about the exciting disruptors - those businesses who harness new technology in a way that changes their industries forever.A decade ago, many companies could achieve competitive advantage by embracing innovations and trends that were already underway. Today this kind of reactive approach is no longer enough.
This apparent lack of aggressiveness can’t be blamed on a lack of money: Just one-quarter cite funding as a primary challenge with respect to investment in Industry 4.0 technologies.

While a cautious approach to technology investing is understandable considering all the challenges related to advanced technologies, don’t miss the window of opportunity. Develop a systematic approach for identifying and harnessing opportunities born at the intersection of technology and business to fuel disruptive change.
