2023 AIBP Thailand Advisory Board Meeting

17 March 2023 

Bridging expectations for digital transformation among Thailand’s enterprises

Enterprises expectations for technology and innovation, and how they expect to get there:

• Enterprises know that technology works, but adoption is tied to the value end users see: solution providers need to understand the pain points of end-users (beyond IT/tech teams) in order to encourage adoption
• Need to bridge technology and business, and rethink the value-add of people: enterprises are ready to co-work (and co-create) with tech providers through knowledge-sharing
• A relook at technology investment costs and pricing: is there a possibility for investment-sharing (hence risk sharing) between technology provider and enterprises to ensure successes from the beginning?
• Start-up solutions are novel though sometimes need help to be able to address a real business case: enterprises are open to validate and ready them

"We have to think about performance-based investments when we consider costs of digitalisation. However, the technology provider does not need to worry about the cost of investment, and only about selling a solution"

- Athikom Kanchanavibhu, Executive Vice President - Digital & Technology Transformation, Mitr Phol

"POCs are not about proof of technology, but about how the technology can help us"

- Sangkom Kositwiwat, Regional IT Director, Kerry Siam Seaport

"CP Foods has invested in various technology solutions for our supply chains, like IoT for animal monitoring"

- Pollaratch Wanichakul, AVP PMO Innovation, Charoen Pokphand Foods (CPF)
