Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionScientificpeer-review

Abstract

In pursuit of competitive advantage in an increasingly globalized and complex environment, organizations are turning to continuous improvement and digitalization to achieve operational excellence. Viewed through the lens of Dynamic Capabilities Theory, the similarities complementarities, and synergies of continuous improvement capability and data analytic capability are examined. Bridging the gap between theory and practice, continuous improvement routines and practices that can be harnessed to accelerate the implementation of data analytical capability are identified. These include Hoshin Kanri to link digitalization projects to organizational strategic, training to develop organizational knowledge of digitalization, problem solving teams to break knowledge silos, and the use of PDCA-type processes for adopting and monitoring the performance of digital technologies.
