📣 When you hear this from a customer or a manufacturing operator, it’s a clear red flag 🚩 . It signals a mindset resistant to #innovation and a reluctance to embrace the essential culture of change that every organization needs today. 🛑 It’s a barrier to progress.
👉 Always positively #challenge the #statusquo to go out of your #confortzone!
📣 But if you hear this from an Executive… well, then you know that boat is likely heading for trouble, and fast.
In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, an executive clinging to the past is steering their entire organization towards obsolescence.
💫 Innovation isn’t just about new tech; it’s about a mindset 💫
Are you fostering a culture that challenges the “way we’ve always done it,” or are you letting this dangerous phrase sink your ship?
Is #AI a challenge or an opportunity for #industrialmanufacturing?
It’s tempting to see AI as either a daunting challenge or a gleaming opportunity for industrial manufacturing.
The truth is both.
For #manufacturers, embracing AI isn’t just about adopting new tech; it’s about:
1️⃣ rethinking processes,
2️⃣ upskilling teams,
3️⃣ implementing a data-driven mentality,
4️⃣ investing in new capabilities.
☝ But here’s the crucial part: failure in implementing innovation and AI is never truly a failure if you learn from it. Each setback provides:
👐 invaluable insights,
👐 refining your approach for the next strategic move.
