Why
We Act

There is no alternative to the digital transformation. Visionary companies carve out new strategic options for themselves – others fail. The future is not what it used to be. Digitization has reached us all and changed everything. And it is here to stay.

Chemical industry leaders recognize that digital technologies have the potential to transform almost every part of the chemical value chain, from research and development, supply chain and production to services, marketing and sales.

In a recent study, almost 60% of chemical companies stated their need for a digital strategy. But half of the respondents also acknowledged that they did not feel prepared to capitalize on the potential and to link a digital agenda to their overall business strategy. In order to enable chemical companies to reflect on the compatibility of their actual digital capabilities with their pursued digital initiatives along the value chain, Roland Berger has developed the DIGITAL PATHFINDER for Chemicals.

Is your company ready to take on the challenges of the new digital age?
