Peggy Smedley and Kiva Allgood, advisor, World Economic Forum, talk about how lessons can help guide the next era of manufacturing. She says the World Economic Forum works at the intersection of industry, academia, and policy—and also as a part of that it gets the opportunity to pause, as part of the Global Lighthouse Network.
They also discuss:
· The IoT (Internet of Things) and the importance of machine data—and how the hype cycle and the investment cycle play out.
· How to scale effectively in small, medium, and large companies.
· The talent gap in small and medium-sized enterprises—and the direct correlation between people and tech.
