Onward Partners is on a mission to run Digital at Scale in manufacturing industries. We understand complex structures of multinationals and shape change at the interfaces between corporate management, business units and production sites. Explore how we helped 250 clients to harmonize digital programs, establish future-proof digital technologies and build high-performance data-driven organizations.

ONWARD PARTNERS is a spin-off from the Industrie 4.0 Maturity Center at RWTH Aachen Campus, the scientific home of the globally recognized “Industrie 4.0 Maturity Index” - one of the world’s leading management frameworks for the digital transformation of factories.

After applying our methologies in more than 250 factories around the globe we saw an even broader need in the market. With ONWARD PARTNERS we not only continue the consulting business around developing digitalization roadmaps for factories. We extend it with services on globally scaling digitalization programs in manufacturing, developing future-proof IT architectures and with professional software tools to manage the transformation.

We still closely cooperate with the Industrie 4.0 Maturity Center at the RWTH Aachen Campus by running joint qualification programs for our customers and by jointly improving our frameworks & conducting studies.
