Haier Group sought external validation of its digital transformation progress against global manufacturing benchmarks.
SIRI confirmed Haier’s LEAD score in the top decile globally, providing credible evidence for investor and board reporting.
Haier Group is one of the world’s largest home appliance manufacturers and has invested significantly in digital manufacturing capabilities over the past decade.
The Validation Challenge
Internal claims of digital leadership carry limited weight with external stakeholders. Haier needed independent, globally credible validation of its position.
The SIRI Assessment
Haier engaged INCIT to conduct SIRI assessments across flagship manufacturing sites. The results confirmed its self-assessment: a LEAD score in the top decile of global SIRI participants.
The Impact
The independently validated SIRI LEAD score gave Haier credible, globally benchmarked evidence of its digital manufacturing leadership position for investor communications, partner engagement, and government relations.
