From Resistance to Resilience: Overcoming Cultural Barriers to Digital Transformation in Manufacturing

How to Drive Predictive Maintenance Adoption and Cultural Change

Predictive maintenance (PdM) delivers measurable results only when teams across your organization embrace and use it. This white paper explores how to create a culture where PdM becomes second nature.

Inside, you’ll learn:

  • How to secure buy-in from every level — earn support from the plant floor to the C-suite with clear communication and measurable wins.
  • Strategies for change management — reduce hesitation around new technology and build team confidence in predictive maintenance.
  • Steps to speed adoption — align team leadership to turn early success into long-term reliability.
  • Examples of transformation — see how other manufacturers made the shift from resistance to resilience.

Why Cultural Change Matters in Predictive Maintenance Adoption

Even the most advanced predictive maintenance system can fall short if teams aren’t aligned behind it. When uncertainty about data or doubt in new processes takes hold, adoption slows and progress stalls.  

Building trust through clear communication, expert support, and early wins can change that. As alignment grows, predictive maintenance shifts from a new initiative to a natural part of daily operations, improving reliability across the plant.
