This sourceMcKinsey's July 2018 digital-manufacturing report, drawing on its Digital Manufacturing Global Expert Survey 2018, which applies the phrase 'pilot purgatory' to manufacturers whose pilot activity never converts into production-scale rollout, and credits the underlying observation to its World Economic Forum collaboration. The January 2018 WEF/McKinsey survey of manufacturers investing in Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies, which reports more than 70% not past the pilot stage — about 41% still piloting at a single site and about 30% not yet started; McKinsey's companion July 2018 report puts companywide rollout at about 30%.
