Business Continuity Management (BCM) enables organizations to manage risk and enable better, faster recovery following a disruption. BCM involves proactive risk identification to limit potential damage to an organization’s brand, capital, functions, and revenue.

Disruptions range from man-made events (i.e. cyber or terrorist attacks) to natural events (i.e. extreme weather or natural disaster). Given today’s environment, it’s not a matter of if a disruption will occur but when a disruption will occur.

DuPont Sustainable Solutions (DSS) believes that BCM is the continuous improvement of an organization’s recovery capabilities. During this webinar, you will learn about:

• Characteristics and behaviors of resilient organizations
• The key elements of the DSS approach to business continuity
• How DSS clients successfully managed business disruptions and lessons learned

The National Association of Manufacturers estimates that manufacturers have 365,000 unfilled jobs now and will need to fill 3.5 million jobs in the next 7 years. In addition to traditional assembly line jobs, the manufacturing industry is moving rapidly toward jobs with irreplaceable human skills, such as creativity, ingenuity, and critical thinking.

To stay competitive, manufacturers need to quickly accommodate the new expectations of this shifting workplace environment. New job opportunities bring new ways of working. Your current and future employees require an expanded toolset to be productive contributors as soon as they step in the door and advance within your organization.

Successful manufacturers have found ways to increase productivity while proving they are exciting, innovative, and rewarding places to work. Join this webinar for a discussion that will help you future-proof your workforce and:

• Understand the impact that the changing workforce is having on manufacturers today.
• Learn how to maximize productivity amongst your employees and use your existing workforce to its fullest potential.
• Identify how technology can play an integral role in the recruiting, retaining, and effective scheduling of the new generation of workers.

Engineering & Manufacturing (E&M) companies are advancing their business models to focus more on providing services and capability to their customers, a practice known as “servitization.” As core markets are becoming increasingly saturated, and product margins are under pressure, companies are aligning their supply chain strategies to meet their customers’ heightened expectations.

Service type activities already make up from one-third to more than one-half of manufacturing employment in some industries. And in today’s marketplace, more and more companies are offering after-market services or complete solutions that are closely coupled to the manufacturer’s products.

While having a digital strategy is important for any manufacturer today, that’s only half the story. There is a huge shift towards the consumption of services over the consumption of products, and it’s this combination of digital pressures and demand for services that is bringing about a revolution in industrial manufacturing.

DHL’s Engineering & Manufacturing sector and The Advanced Services Group have created a white paper series focused on this shift in business models, and in this webinar you’ll hear from several experts who will discuss servitization in the context of value networks as well as supply chain strategies and its impact on E&M industries. You’ll also hear a best practice case study that will shine a light on the transformational change process – from strategy articulation to process definition and decision enablement.
