Thriving in the 4th Industrial Revolution
Numerous challenges face organizations manufacturing products
today as the market moves more towards extreme design and
demand variability, expectations of rapid innovation and the onset of
markets of one. To address these challenges manufacturing
companies are looking to leverage the principles of the 4IR,
Industry4.0 technologies and Product Innovation to drive efficiency
into their production operations. Success requires deep knowledge,
skills and a collaborative approach in the Digital Culture4.0
Thriving in the 4IR
Transforming an organization and its products
is not a simple task, it’s a journey that takes
time and is built upon a firm foundation.
Companies know they must make their
processes more automated and integrated to
make them more efficient and they need
intelligent, skillful and digitally cultured people
to help them achieve it. – these are the
fundamentals of the 4th Industrial Revolution.
Recognizing the complexity of this journey, H&C
Digital Transformation for the 4IR, delivers
specialized resourcing services to deliver on
your company’s future and your ambitions.
Each day that passes, industry is learning
productive best practices utilizing Industry4.0
technology enablers.
It is our job to be your eyes and ears on the
ground to help you identify, approach, engage
and attract those and the people associated in
developing and delivering. This global

Smarter, Better Products, Delivered Faster
Connect each product, transform everything. The IoT explosion in
products & equipment and collaborative approaches, the abundance
of data from field devices and rapidly changing technology
landscape has made it imperative for companies to quickly adapt
their products and services and move from physical world to a digital
world. Speed is everything, innovation is critical and an entire value
chain collaboration from customer to manufacturer to supplier, is the
way to prosper in the 4IR.
Front & Centre sits the need to product
innovate amid a threatened market share. We
speak consistently of i4.0 technologies as a
collection of disruptive technologies reliant on
an enterprise mindset shift (Digital Culture 4.0).
Fundamental components of the DC4.0 include
"Offense Thinking", "Customer-Centricity",
"Smart-Data Usage", "Fail-fast, Learn-
Quicker", "Cross-Functional Groups" & the
MVP. Bringing all of these technologies &
cultures together is seeing the emerging trend &
usage of Open Innovation Platforms (aka Digital
and Product Innovation Platforms). Who knows
where it might lead?
As industry knowledgeable recruiters and with
an in-depth understanding of the Product
Innovation approach, we bring an intelligence
to the table like no other. Deeply embedded in
the various Innovation Platforms from the best
solution providers in the world (Dassault
Systemes, Siemens, SAP, PTC, aras &
Oracle), we scour the world for the best
implementations and learnings so far
(analytics, design, PLM, Digital Twin,
Simulation, Maintenance), to bring you industry
and solution best practice approaches blended
with digitally cultured resources for your
projects.

4. Purpose Solution Benefits
Effective Use Of Industry 4.0 Technologies
Through Smart Manufacturing and automation, the industry has been
transformed once again. The Internet of Things (IoT) has created a
world where machines talk to each other creating new efficiencies
and enhanced productivity. Combine this new connectivity and the
enterprise is able to create a digital replica of the manufacturing
process and product (Digital Twin & Digital Thread), for faster
product development, testing, simulation and modeling in the field.
Enabling i4.0 Technologies for the benefit of the business takes skill.
A successful Industry4.0 Technology
introduction to the enterprise means hands-on
and proven experience from a similar industry.
Introducing a fully integrated IIoT, Cloud, and
Analytics initiative means an agile, MVP based
approach. Taking this to another level for full
simulation, care of the Digital Twin requires
another level of business process, date and
modeling expertise. It will be the norm in a few
years to come, but right now to get ahead
takes deep knowledge and skills, gained from
working with the best.
Locating the requisite resources for your latest
Smart Factory / Industry4.0 initiative takes
embedded resource/people networks located
all around the world.
A successful i4.0 project relies on people with
Industry, Industry4.0 Best Practice, Lean /
Agile approaches & strong i4.0 Technology
knowledge. How will you find them? Approach
them? and encourage them to join your team?
A recruiter who understands what’s required, is
a trusted recruiter & one capable of delivering
unrivaled project teams for your i4 project.

5. Purpose Solution Benefits
Product Lifecycle Management 4.0
You implement and use PLM to make your customer’s products
better, manage data, communicate better and improve the
manufacturing process and customer experience. You & your
customer is about to discover how surprisingly inadequate it is the
way the company is running its product, product design,
manufacture and lifecycle management business. It’s not an easy
thing & is often personal. Somebody is actually responsible & you
need to help them understand so the PLM can improve it.
The best brand, best run organization, with the
best marketing and sales will never make up for
an inadequate product in the 4IR.
Knowing what’s adequate and better still, the
best in the market relies on customer analytics,
and supplier relations to provide a solid design
platform. Utilizing the very latest modeling and
simulation tools to try, test and push the
boundaries of design, then catapulting into
production, pushing fast into the field and
maintaining throughout its lifecycle is expected
and only a robust, highly functional and
integrated PLM solution can deliver.
Few regard the PLM offerings in the market as
plug’n’play, despite Industry Best Practice
Solutions prevalent from various big vendors.
When you combine some of the best practices
with the latest Industry4.0 technologies and the
ongoing demands of the 4IR for better, smarter
products, delivered faster, there’s no beating a
team that’s “been there, done it”!
Knowing the market and the people is what a
knowledgeable headhunter does for his/her
living each day.

Building a 4IR Community Innovation Platform
Whether it’s advice, a “sounding board”, a mere source of news or
comradery, our 4IR Community Innovation Platform believes in the
power of collaboration across our organically grown community. At
H&C Digital Transformation over the years to come we are building a
platform for best practice sharing and we are the conduit for

7. Purpose
H&C – Digital Transformation: Our Values
Every good marriage is built on common values and beliefs. We are
building our Digital Transformation for the 4th Industrial Revolution
business on a common set of values that we hope compliment your
approach to your business and customers. We believe fluid and
regular communication sits at the heart of every good relationship,
combined with trust from the outset.
Love What You Do: we choose people to join
our organization only if they have a love for
manufacturing and the amazing technologies
that are coming through to deliver better
products for us all.
Master Craftsmen: we call it a blend of “desire
& time”; the desire to learn all things PLM4.0
and the willingness to put in the 10,000+ hours
to become an expert in their field.
“Build The Tallest Building”: as they say, there
are two ways to build the tallest building; either
build the tallest or pull everyone else’s down.
The former is our style!
Work Harder & Faster: To be the best at what
you do, does need great talent, but without
worker harder and faster than everyone else is
like a ship without a crew and captain.
“Be You”: quirky, unique and even geeky is fine
with us, as long as our people be themselves
and are the best at what they do. The world is
changing fast and a genuine approach is
demanded always.
Do The Right Things, Because It’s The Right
Thing To Do: all we ask our team is to do the
right thing always. No short-termism, just
building a legacy brand built around doing
things right.
