Companies worldwide are eager to adopt Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technologies to boost both productivity and sustainability. However, the path to achieving this is fraught with challenges, from outdated legacy systems to the critical need for workforce upskilling. And in some cases, needing to overcome an image problem that makes it hard to recruit and retain the talent required to fill vacant production roles.
In this episode of McKinsey Talks Operations, host Christian Johnson is joined by Enno de Boer, Senior Partner at McKinsey & Company, Kiva Allgood, Head of the Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Supply Chains at the World Economic Forum, and Jackie Jung, Vice President of Global Operations Strategy and Corporate Sustainability at Western Digital. In this lively discussion they examine how the Global Lighthouse Network is helping companies overcome these barriers and the exceptional results they are enjoying, the evolution of the network, and the secret to driving long-term success with 4IR technologies.
