On the other hand, the service sector has not been doing as well in adapting to the technology-enabled revolution. Many companies have been struggling with digital transformation since the 1990s. Today’s service sector could therefore benefit significantly if it embraced Industry 4.0 more actively.
However, technology-first thinking is not a guarantee of success, since technologies are simply enablers. Methods to adopt Industry 4.0 in the service sector depend on organizational culture, policy, strategy, and vision. In a service economy, much of the value generated is a result of human collaboration, communication, and creativity. It is crucial to take a more human-centric approach to business. Fumbling with new technologies without reckoning with culture, policy, and all the other intangible systems can have a detrimental impact on the service sector. Thus, with a human-centric perspective, the benefits of Industry 4.0 will result in improved productivity and efficiency, flexibility and agility, and profitability in the service sector in the long run.
