This presentation explores the transformative potential of digitization in enhancing operational efficiency through effective change management. Focusing on power price prediction accuracy, we evaluate whether existing commercial tools are necessary or if simple machine learning (ML) models suffice for accurate forecasting. The discussion extends to the critical decision of whether to digitalize pre-existing processes or to innovate new workflows leveraging available digital technologies. We will also examine strategies for seamlessly integrating digitization into change management frameworks within operations, ensuring alignment with organizational goals. Additionally, we will identify potential failure points and challenges that may be faced during the implementation of digitization initiatives. The session will answer the following questions:

• Power price prediction accuracy, do we need commercial tools or data simple ML is enough?
• Do we digitalize existing pre-digital processes or create new processes based on available digital tools ?
• How can digitization be effectively integrated into change management processes in Operations?
• What are the potential failure points or challenges that organizations may encounter when implementing digitization initiatives in Operations Change Management?
