Mr. Bilello’s presentation will take place during day 3 of the conference, on 28 August. The presentation will describe and offer solutions for solving the organizational trap of sub- optimization. Businesses and organizational structures are defined by traditional departmental lines, a limited span of control, and associated measurements that significantly hamper a company’s ability to maximize success. The presentation will comment on some of today’s key disruptors that must be understood and dealt with. It will also show how to best drive an end-to-end business transformation that avoids sub-optimization and makes the transformational adjustments needed to maximize success. Mr. Bilello has more than 26 years of experience in the development of business-enabling IT solutions for research, engineering, and manufacturing organizations worldwide. He has participated in PLM analysis, selection, implementation, and training; CAD/CAM/CAE/CIM implementation and management; synchronous and lean manufacturing consulting; software engineering; and general data management strategy development and support. He has authored numerous papers and research reports on PLM and related topics, and his articles, commentaries, and perspectives have appeared in publications throughout the Americas, Europe, and Asia.
