TALKING SHOP IN MANUFACTURING got a hot take? i am piloting an initiative around open-source and community co-creative development of a manufacturing technology organization's structure and strategy. it is intended to cover a wide breadth of topics, as i've learned that it takes an organization that is truly aligned across all the internal and external functions across the business' supply chain for an organization to work! so, whether you're a manufacturing practitioner, a solutions provider, or an industry enthusiast promoting transformative ideas... i would love to hear your perspective especially if you're deeply rooted within the fabric of manufacturing shop floors... but that's my bias showing, 😅. this is a linkedin audio event - which means you... / you don't have to worry about showing up on camera / you don't have to commit to being present for the entire show / you can drop-in and share some quick nuggets of insight / you can simply listen along in the background we'll be exploring 3 questions (time-permitting): 1. within your experience working in xyz function - what is the biggest pain point you're seeing when collaborating cross-functionally across organizations? 2. what would a streamlined process look like and how would you ensure the practice is sustained over the course of day-to-day operations? 3. as an organization grows, so do the needs of the business. which functions are often overlooked as a nice-to-have and not a need-to-have as the org grows from 1-50 employees? 51-250 employees? 251-500+ employees? can't wait to talk shop w/ the community on friday, november 19th at 12:15pm eastern standard time! 🏭.
