Increasing Resilience, Profitability, and Sustainability in the Industrial Manufacturing Industry - Futurum Tech Podcast The Intelligent Enterprise Industry Series

This episode of the Futurum Tech Podcast - Interview Series is the second installment of our newly launched Intelligent Enterprise Industry Series — done in partnership with SAP — where I will be speaking with advisors and executives across ten different industries on how they are focusing on furthering their intelligent enterprise story. I’m excited to welcome Gary Nelson, an executive advisor for the industrial machinery and components industry at SAP.   The Interconnected Industrial Manufacturer   SAP recently partnered with Oxford Economics to conduct a research study to identify how an interconnected mindset impacts organizations including how data has impacted the supply chain and ways organizations are building better workforces. The report includes findings from 3,000 senior executives, including 300 from the industrial manufacturing sector.   My conversation with Gary revolved around the following:   How companies that rely heavily on face to face sales are reacting to COVID-19 and preparing for the next potential disruption. The ways customers can use different software systems to connect their entire enterprise. How companies within the IM&C industry are improving collaboration across the supply chain. Collaboration across the organization and with external partners is requiring more data The importance of integrating data not just internally but externally as well to drive insights and analytics when going to market.   Gary and I explored some of the findings of The Interconnected Industrial Manufacturer report that will have a big impact on the future. We only covered a few aspects of the report in our conversation.
