The series, which is being delivered by experts from the EEF’s Manufacturing Growth Team and guest speakers, will provide key insights into five different topics: manufacturers and the 4IR journey; manufacturers and cyber security; the workplace of the future (technology and digitilisation); the workplace of the future (job security, role diversity and robotics); and the workplace of the future (upskilling and new skills).
EEF says that through the podcasts, companies will gain valuable advice on where to focus and practical tools and advice that can implemented as part of business strategies for the digital future. They will also cover specifics and highlight key questions which manufacturers are raising through EEF’s new Online Problem Solving Network.
Says EEF consultancy director Martin Strutt: “4IR presents huge challenges and opportunities for manufacturers with the introduction of new technology, new skills and both organisational and cultural change. Manufacturers need to act now if they are to compete and innovate in this digital future.
“This series will provide them with practical and realistic steps they can take right across their business which will ensure they are business ready to take advantage of the opportunities this new era will bring.”
