Okay, okay! It appears we are not alone in wanting to know more about modern manufacturing. Jump into the next episode in our series on being human in the smart machine age: Manufacturing Matters,
It matters to everyone.
We only scratch the surface on the fascinating reasons why.
Thank you, Lowe and Fountaine for sharing your time and talent with the friends of Strategy School!
ABOUT THE EPISODE
Think you know manufacturing? Or maybe you think of it in the abstract, something unrelated to your work or your life. After listening to episode 5, you will rethink those assumptions.
Like it or not, manufacturing runs your life. The clothes on your back, the phone in your hand, the car (or bus, or bike) that gets you around, all exist because of manufacturing. Unless you are one of the lucky few with a sustainable backyard garden, the food you eat is processed, packaged, and delivered through a massive web of production. Think you’re off the grid? Unless you live in the wilderness with zero modern tools, you rely on manufactured goods. From life-saving medical devices to the roads beneath your feet, manufacturing isn’t just some distant industry—it’s the invisible force shaping our lives.
ABOUT THE SERIES: BEING HUMAN IN THE SMART MACHINE AGE
AI, IoT, Edge, Quantum, Robotics…feeling overwhelmed? Tech is changing the landscape of industries around the globe. Marketers, designers, strategists, and copywriters are not immune and may be a little worse for wear. We want the bots to do our dishes (robotics—yay!) but not take our jobs (AI-boo!). The volume and velocity of disruption are unavoidable. You cannot opt out of getting smarter about what it means to be human in the smart machine age.
