The Breaking Point: When Spreadsheets & Legacy PLM Stall Growth

This session explores how leading brands modernize PLM into a true single source of truth that scales with growth.

Duration: 60 mins

Save Your Spot – Learn to Scale

Event starts in:

Reconnect Teams. Restore Visibility. Accelerate Performance.

In most organizations, the problem is not effort. Teams move fast. Designers create. Merchandisers plan. Sourcing negotiates. Product managers chase updates. Leadership pushes for speed and margin – the problem is fragmentation.

As product portfolios expand and supplier networks grow, legacy PLM often shifts from system of record to operational bottleneck. Modernizing product development is not about replacing a tool. It is about evolving the operating model to create alignment, visibility and speed across increasing complexity.

Ideas for What You’ll Learn:

The 5 warning signs your PLM is slowing growth

How leading brands reduce rework and sample rounds by 20–30%

What a scalable product operating model looks like beyond spreadsheets

How to build executive alignment for replacing legacy PLM
