The resources needed for change (above the day-to-day).

Stripping away their ranking stripes, whether in seniority, expertise, age, number of years’ experience and background; is pre-requisite.When this happens the magic of creativity and the art of the possible thrive.

Modelling deployment over a 10-year period demonstrates the opportunity of billions in improved cashflow from the reduction in capital wastage and the delivery of products more quickly to market.Developing more secure supply chains which can respond with agility to disruption.

At a manufacturing level they can deliver more reliable quality with lower complexity and cost, while driving operations significantly closer to net-zero….However, on the day we consciously parked any “solution mode” and the morning was spent discussing barriers: -.
