As manufacturing continues to evolve, the nature of work and skills must also adapt to fit the new needs of the industry. These short and long-term changes require manufacturing leaders to weigh various factors and competing priorities to make informed investment decisions. Manufacturing leaders are constantly thinking how to best position their company in a competitive marketplace and set themselves up for success over the long term. To do so, they must prioritize investments, making tough but important decisions about where to deploy marginal dollars. To further explore this topic, the MI and Cognizant conducted a study that explores the different approaches manufacturers take in making investment decisions this summer.
This webinar will highlight key takeaways from the upcoming paper to be released on Oct. 10. In addition, there will be a discussion with panelists about strategies manufacturers use in determining their future growth plans and investments.
