Analyst Keynote: Market Shaping Decision Architectures

Matthew Littlefield, Co-founder and President, LNS Research

Explore how industrial companies can use AI to improve productivity, increase decision velocity, and build competitive advantage in a rapidly changing operating environment. He examines why manufacturing productivity has stalled since 2010, why most organizations are still in the early stages of AI adoption, and what separates leaders from companies stuck in pilot mode. The talk highlights the importance of trusted data, clear decision rights, aligned operating models, and leadership-driven culture change. It offers practical insights for organizations looking to move beyond dashboards and turn AI into better, faster, and more scalable decision-making across the business.
