2025 Unboxed: A Year of Thinking and Doing
Thank you for being a GrayMatter partner in 2025!
We focused on sharing stories to help you make better decisions, lead through change and run your operations more efficiently. AI, cybersecurity, change management and staff augmentation were among the hottest topics of the year.
Along the way, we smoothed the edges on our logo, adopted our “Thinkers and Doers” tagline, and launched a new way to define what we do: The GrayMatter Effect.
The GrayMatter Effect is our edge – where smart thinking meets decisive action. It’s how extraordinary people partner with driven clients to build outcomes that matter.
Fueled by curiosity, grounded in community, and committed to shared success – we turn passion into progress and complexity into clarity.
This is how we think. It’s how we do. And it’s why we win – together.
Now for 2025 Unboxed! These are some of our most popular stories, according to our audience.
Fan Favorite
GrayMatter Voices of Vision Report
Our leadership summit survey was the fan favorite this year. Leadership-driven insights clearly resonated, like this one: 59% of those surveyed described their plant connectivity as “barely there.”
The report is filled with insights from the industrial professionals we talked to. These insights can help you level set for next year. If you haven’t seen the report, check it out now!
Rookie of the Year
Announcing Command24
We debuted Command24 to help organizations monitor, manage and act when challenges arise in their operational technology infrastructure. We called it Command24 because production issues don’t care if it’s the weekend, 2 a.m. or a holiday. Command24 is 24/7 OT infrastructure support.
If you caught the announcement, great! But have you seen the case study? It ranked as the second most popular among our newly released content. Check out how a water provider solved a chronic need for SCADA operators with Command24.
