Abstract

Organizations are encouraged to adopt smart technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things, due to the significant transformation represented by Industry 4.0. This revolution requires successful change management to embrace this transition. In this study, a literature review was conducted on the concept of change management and the various existing Industry 4.0 models. The methodology adopted is based on a focus group combined with a questionnaire addressed to Moroccan companies and structures. To ensure a smooth transition towards Industry 4.0, the goal was to create an optimal model that combines technological preparation with organizational and human adaptability. Analysis of the results highlights the central role of change management and a preliminary study of the existing situation, emphasizing that an integrated approach taking into account organizational, technological, and human dimensions is essential to guarantee successful implementation.

Keywords

Industry 4.0, Fourth revolution, Change management, Models, Focus group, Swot analysis.
