WELCOME TO THE April edition of Gigabit , another feast of information and insight for leaders of the digital industrial revolution ..

Our cover story this month sees us sit down with Daimler Trucks Asia CIO Lutz Beck . The organisation , he says , “ wants to connect everything ”. It ’ s a neat summary of its Connected X strategy that has seen the company embrace a data-led future with IoT at its core .

Meanwhile , we get right to the heart of one of the biggest obstacles to effective digital transformation initiatives : Change management . Deirde Paknad , CEO of Workboard , reveals the scale of the challenge and explains why her solution has gained popularity so quickly .

Moving to AI – a topic never far from any digital transformation story – we spoke to three separate experts to dig in on the latest developments in deep learning and neural networks . From advances that are speeding up AI training times , to revolutions in predictive maintenance and developing impressive applications for machine learning in mapping , there ’ s a lot to learn here .

Finally , we have a bumper stack of exclusive insights into real transformation journeys underway across a spectrum of organisations around the world . From financial services to hospitals , or from advertising to retirement homes – there ’ s a lot to learn here , too .

Enjoy the issue , and be sure to join the conversation in Gigabit ’ s Linkedin group , or follow us on Twitter and Facebook .
