Infor found a 46% productivity gap between the UKs top and bottom performers, far above the global average of 27%, highlighting the need for British companies to react more quickly to emerging technologies.

Machine learning and generative AI were found to be two of the most promising technologies in terms of unlocking productivity and efficiency benefits.

Speaking about the troubles facing manufacturing, distribution and healthcare companies, Infor CEO Kevin Samuelson commented: Organisations need to
optimise and continuously improve processes; embrace the power of advanced technology; push data in decision-making; and keep customer requirements
front and centre.

Furthermore, Infor found a 23% difference between Birtains productivity leaders and so-called laggards, considerably more than the 15% global
average, which is indicative of the disparity between firms in the UK.

Dr Chris Bauer, Director of Innovation at the Institute of Management Studies at the University of London, added: Organisations that succeed will be those ready to evolve their processes and fully embrace data-driven readiness, gaining clarity of vision for the future.
