New Beginnings
October marks the month of new beginnings: autumn season, clocks going backward and a new, improved DRL 2.0 tool. After receiving praise over summer, DRL-Tool.org has listened to its user’s feedback, refined the tool and added new features. The questionnaires have been streamed lined to reflect the reality of the challenges the UK industry faces. Including, how can we increase productivity, quality, flexibility and reduce cost by employing digital technologies in our business?
The free-to-use tool is of high value to the industry. Though digital technologies of all types have great potential to enhance UK productivity. Many UK organisations can struggle to understand how to adopt digital transformation. By demystifying digital technology, DRL-Tool 2.0 is designed to provide a company with the opportunity to take a detailed look at where they are, in respect to the digital journey and to assess and prioritise their future actions to reach their desired position.
DRL-Tool benchmarks your readiness to make the most of digital technologies and helps you determine the steps along your journey to digital maturity. You can compare your digital readiness with other companies of similar size, sector and region, all in an anonymised way.
We spoke to members of the DRL community, and they had their say
Leslie Lee of HSSMI and Chairperson of DRL-Tool.org says “The DRL-Tool is a great way for businesses to build their understanding of how digital technologies can help in the ways that really matter to them. The DRL-Tool.org community interest company is maintaining the highest standards of benchmarking and roadmapping for digitally-curious companies to find their way forward. HSSMI is one of the DRL-Tool.org quality assured consultancy providers and we are delighted to be helping innovative manufacturers around the UK to take their next digital steps.”
