Matthias Holweg
American Standard Companies Professor of Operations Management
Saïd Business School, University of Oxford
Matthias is a trained industrial engineer and is interested in how organisations generate and sustain process-improvement practices. His research focuses on the evolution and adaptation of process-improvement methodologies as they are being applied across manufacturing, service, office, and public sector contexts. More recently, Matthias has started working on digital operations, with a particular focus on the economics of additive manufacturing (3D printing) in order to determine how to use this set of new technologies to generate competitive advantage. He also leads the Digitally Empowered Enterprise Lab at Oxford Saïd, which brings together the many strands of research within the School related to digital transformation.
Professor Matthias Holweg, Programme Director
“AI is a fascinating technology that is entering every aspect of our work and daily lives. It improves existing products and processes, and also fosters disruptive innovation. We need to embrace it, while also defining its legal and ethical boundaries within our organisations, and society as a whole.”
