Transformation in Practice: A Case Study Roundtable with S4S

Most digital transformation conversations happen before the work starts, or after it’s been polished into a case study.

This one happens in the middle of it.

S4S are one of the UK’s largest dental laboratories. 600 to 800 orders a day. Two sites. A business that had grown faster than its systems could handle. When The Curve mapped their operation, they found manual processes embedded at every stage, fragmented data across a dozen platforms, and core software the supplier had stopped improving.

In 2024, S4S engaged The Curve to map the full picture, identify where the friction was, and build a roadmap for what better could look like. What followed was a phased programme of automation, integration, and systems improvement that’s still running today.

This roundtable brings together the people who led it on both sides, for a straight conversation about what the journey actually involved.

Whatever industry you are in this is your chance to speak to an organisation who's been through the transformation journey and has come through the other side with tangible ROI.

By joining The Curve and S4S for this roundtable, you'll walk away with:

• A clear view of what a real transformation programme looks like from the inside, not a highlights reel

• An honest account of where it’s hard, what breaks, and what you do about it

• A framework for prioritising when the problem list is longer than the budget

• Practical insight on what changes first, and why that matters

• A clearer sense of whether your business is ready to start, or ready to go further

The event is closed door. Chatham House. No presentations. Breakfast provided. Places strictly limited.

John Bevan, Commercial Director, S4S (UK) Dental Laboratory.
