Event Summary
NatWest has recently launched Future Fit: Trailblazing in the Fourth Industrial Revolution report which focused on three objectives central to identifying excellence in manufacturing as we enter the 4th industrial revolution.
One of these objectives is the need for a ‘trailblazing’ leadership mindset – crucial in setting a company’s forward thinking strategy, and implementing it.
Following the launch of this report, ASTUTE 2020, ION leadership and NatWest have joined forces for this event where attendees will hear from academics and industry specialists on the importance of developing a leadership mindset and find out more about how such a mindset can have a positive impact on productivity, innovation and business growth.
We will hear from:-
- NatWest, who will provide further insight into their report, particularly the key characteristics of a ‘Trailblazing’ leadership mindset.
- ASTUTE 2020 on how they are working with the Manufacturing Industry across Wales, and how Industry is gaining a competitive advantage in future manufacturing technologies through adapting to change with the support of industry-academia collaboration.
- ION leadership, a leadership development and business growth programme based at Swansea University, will be discussing how to develop and embed a leadership mindset within your organisation.
In addition we wil also hear from thriving manufacturing businesses who are building solid foundations to succeed in the 4th industrial revolution, they will talk about how they have benefitted from working with ION leadership and ASTUTE 2020 within the manufacturing sector.
