About
Simon Jacobson is a Vice President Analyst at Gartner covering Supply Chain operations, manufacturing strategy, autonomous operations and the connected industrial workforce.
His work focuses on autonomous operations and industrial operating-model change.
Dataleo perspective
Autonomous operations require redesigned roles, decision boundaries, escalation paths and operational KPIs rather than technology deployment alone.
Organizations should define human authority, exception ownership and degraded modes across connected workforce programs.
