""The goal of Transform to Outperform is to achieve significant growth and productivity gains that elevate Dow's competitive position," said Karen S. Carter , Dow's chief operating officer, in the press release announcing the initiative. "We are building on the momentum of our current self-help measures - transforming Dow into a company that is more resilient, consistently delivers growth, enables customer success, and delivers greater shareholder value across the cycle.""
""C3 AI has been pivotal in transforming Dow's operations from reactive to predictive, optimizing asset performance to drive value. As we scale these solutions across Dow's portfolio, we anticipate significant benefits," said Debra Bauler, chief information and digital officer at Dow in a June 2025 press release. "We look forward to continuing our partnership with C3 AI as we advance a world-class predictive maintenance program and uncover further opportunities to enhance efficiency, reliability, and productivity throughout our operations.""
"Dow is one of the biggest enterprises working with Palantir rival C3 AI, which uses a digital twin to map a company, its employees, products, and its processes in a hunt to find efficiencies."
Dow Chemical plans to eliminate roughly 4,500 jobs, about 12.5 percent of its workforce, attributing the reductions to AI automation and operational simplification. The cuts are part of a companywide initiative called "Transform to Outperform" aimed at radically simplifying operations, modernizing the go-to-market playbook, and achieving $2 billion in EBITDA improvement by 2028. The initiative focuses on growth and productivity gains to strengthen competitive position, resilience, customer success, and shareholder value across the cycle. Dow is deploying C3 AI digital-twin and predictive-maintenance solutions to shift operations from reactive to predictive and optimize asset performance.
