As the business leader of your company, is your leadership bench strong enough to enable your company to make the transition to the digital era? Does your team have the vision, skills, technical acumen, and inclinations to embrace new technologies, operate in a collaborative organizational structure, and lead people who are increasingly empowered by information?

The Manufacturing Leadership Council will explore these issues in its next “Critical Issues” call on Monday, November 19 at 11 am ET. An expert panel of industry practitioners and participants will address these questions and relate best practices about leadership team selection, what competencies and skills are needed in the Manufacturing 4.0 era, and what their own approaches are to prepare their leadership teams to lead in the digital era.

It is recommended that panelists prepare three to five slides on where their companies stand on their M4.0 journey now, what leadership competencies and skills they feel will be needed under 4.0, what an ideal leadership bench would look like, and guidance on how best to go about assembling a team for the future.
