Harnessing Digital Transformation to Empower People and Accelerate Precision

As the semiconductor industry navigates accelerating complexity, rapid innovation cycles, and rising performance expectations, the ability to adapt across operations, supply chains, talent, and culture has never been more critical.

In this fireside chat, Jon Krohn will sit down with Khadija Ben Hammad and Dan Drellich to explore how digital transformation is more than a technology shift but how it’s a catalyst for cultural change. Together, they’ll discuss how organizations can build resilience to meet today’s needs while preparing for tomorrow’s demands.

The conversation won’t be limited to automation. With AI reshaping how we work and interact with technology, the panelists will unpack both its promise and its challenges. They’ll highlight how human expertise remains at the core of success, even as AI and advanced data platforms empower
employees to detect anomalies faster, make smarter decisions, and move from reactive problem solving to predictive quality assurance.

A key theme of the discussion will be equipping the workforce for the AI era: developing digital confidence, understanding AI’s strengths and limits, and knowing when to lean on human creativity and judgment.

Expect an engaging dialogue on actionable strategies for adopting AI-enabled systems, driving cultural shifts, and ensuring leaders prioritize people alongside technology in the pursuit of zero defects. The chat will shine a light on how collaborative approaches and workforce empowerment can redefine quality standards and fuel stronger performance across the semiconductor industry
