“…Top Management commitment is also essential to create a favourable organizational culture for adopting I4.0 (Samanta, Virmani, Singh, Haque & Jamshed, 2023). In addition, managers must adopt a transformational leadership style for employees to accept I4.0 (van Dun & Kumar, 2023).…”

Purpose: This research investigates Portuguese manufacturing companies' Industry 4.0 (I4.0) maturity perception level and proposes an index to measure that aim.Design/methodology/approach: This study uses a survey method to gather the companies' perceptions of their I4.0 maturity level and applies subsequent exploratory factor analysis to propose a global I4.0 measurement index.Findings: The research results show that the most critical factors in evaluating the perception level of I4.0 Perception Maturity (IPM) are strategy, leadership, and customer experiences. The result for the Global Index was 53.50%. Hence, the global Index companies' perception of the level of maturity of I4.0 in Portugal is medium.Research limitations/implications: This study encompasses only Portuguese manufacturing organizations (50 valid responses). Moreover, the research is subject to the limitations of the survey methodology, such as possible respondent bias.Practical implications: The Portuguese I4.0 strategy mainly targets small and medium-sized enterprises through a bottom-up approach. Hence, companies need proper methodologies and tools for evaluating I4.0 adoption, identifying their present situation concerning I4.0 and where to focus on improving the process and achieving the intended benefits.Social implications: This research identifies the main perceived benefits and obstacles of adopting I4.0, suggesting avenues for its successful implementation by the Portuguese companies.Originality/value: This study provides a valuable tool for manufacturing companies to identify the factors that need to be improved to create significant growth in the I4.0 Perception Maturity (IPM) index. Therefore, it can support companies in establishing a roadmap for successful I4.0 adoption and improving their performance and competitive position accordingly.

“…I am convinced it is, and that in the future group problem-solving skills will even become more important. Over the last years, much research is performed on the role of people in relation to Industry 4.0 and the related, internet-of-things (Dalenogare et al, 2018;Van Dun & Kumar, 2023). Many technological opportunities have moved society into a data-and technology-driven focus.…”

With this thesis, I present to you the result of my Ph.D. research, an endeavour that began six years ago. Challenged by Professor Dr. Celeste Wilderom and Dr. Desirée van Dun, I was prompted to merge my 30 years of practical knowledge with academic research. ipv , I accepted this challenge. My research question emerged from a realization during my years of practical experience:witnessing numerous organizations struggling with the successful execution of improvement initiatives. This pervasive challenge became the focal point of my academic pursuit. In addressing this practical problem, I endeavoured to explore, from a scientific perspective, the root causes behind organizations' struggles. My goal was twofold: to gain theoretical insights and, maybe for me as a consultant even more important, to derive practical results through academic research. I aspired to unearth insights and recommendations capable of enhancing the effectiveness and success of organizations and their employees in complex problem-solving challenges so that successful operational improvements are taking place.Today, as I reflect on the completion of this journey, I am not only pleased with the fulfilment of my academic responsibilities but also gratified by the prospect of contributing substantively to the practical realm. This research is not merely an academic exercise but a tangible effort to bridge the gap between theory and application, with the ultimate aim of fostering organisational and human-(group) effectiveness and/or success in overcoming challenges. The importance of this study is underscored by the prevailing era of constant change in which we live. In order to maintain vital, organisations must adequately respond to this ever-changing landscape. When perceiving non-performing processes, the situation must be improved. And for this it is a must that organisations and their employees have the capability to effectively solve complex problems.Originated in this practical challenge, this academic research has provided many insights into the intricacies of executing a high-quality process improvement relevant to all organisations and their employees worldwide. I am content that I am enhancing literature with these insights and that the results of this research are very well applicable in practical work lives of people and organisations.
