Building a digital learning ecosystem to elevate global talent skills
Under its existing manufacturing training framework, Delta has developed a "Digital Transformation Curriculum Framework" to identify the core competencies required for digital transformation. The program introduces new courses in process management, architecture management, and R&D management. Notably, it includes "Technical Empowerment Courses" tailored for manufacturing teams and "Project Management Courses" designed for cross-functional teams, equipping them with the digital skills essential for navigating the transformation process. Over the past two years, Delta has launched 27 digital courses globally, leveraging seed instructors to extend training to international regions. More than 6,000 employees have participated in these programs. Next year, over 10 new courses will be introduced, with plans to expand training to cover 10,000 employees.
Since 2023, Delta has launched a diversified "Digital Transformation Training Program" to enhance awareness of digital transformation across the organization. This program includes initiatives such as "Digital Storytelling" campaigns, online courses, offline workshops, and skill competitions, resulting in 13 events held across key global manufacturing regions. In addition, Delta has implemented training on the IPC CFX industrial IoT data exchange standard worldwide, successfully training nearly 400 personnel.

Upgrading lean courses to enrich digital transformation mindsets
To enhance digital transformation mindsets, the Lean Improvement Curriculum was upgraded in 2023. This six-month training program integrates theoretical knowledge with practical application and has launched 60 projects across major global manufacturing sites. It has trained 400 improvement experts, including KAIZEN Advisers and KAIZEN Leaders, to collectively drive continuous optimization within factories.

Hosting agile leadership workshops to promote core empowerment elements
Delta understands that the success of transformation largely depends on mid- to senior-level executives continuously learning, embracing breakthroughs, and demonstrating a commitment to excellence. At the end of 2023, Delta invited global mid- to senior-level manufacturing plant managers to gather at the Suzhou facility for an "Agile Leadership Workshop." The workshop focused on learning agile work methods, utilizing the Scrum framework for rapid experimentation and continuous learning. This approach promoted the efficient realization of core empowerment, reduced the risk of failure in use case development, and effectively accelerated the implementation of digital transformation.

Hosting data empowerment bootcamp to enhance analytical skills and efficiency
Data analysis requires a deep understanding of products, the ability to discern data, and proficiency in analytical tools. Centered around Power BI and RPA, and driven by the Core Team and Quality Assurance job family, the "Data Analysis" and "Power BI Application Bootcamp" events were successfully held in Thailand, East China, South China, Taiwan, and other locations. These initiatives effectively enhanced global employees' data analysis capabilities in their daily work.

Transforming skills competitions to broaden perspectives and mindsets
Delta utilizes a "learning through competition" approach to enhance employees' professional skills while guiding their digital skill transformation. This includes innovation competitions in traditional technical areas such as PLC and robotic arms, as well as new skill events in data analysis, simulation modeling, and RPA. From automation competitions in Thailand to robotics contests in East China, Delta encourages employees to refine their digital skills and apply them in the practice of digital transformation.
Delta’s journey of digital transformation is not only about upgrading technology and processes, but also deeply shaping talent empowerment and organizational culture. This comprehensive digital transformation strategy not only allows Delta to maintain its competitive edge in the market but also positions it as an industry benchmark in the digitalization field, continuously leading the industry toward the future.
