Smart operators: how leading companies use machine intelligence

03/09/22 • 25 min

Making good use of data and analytics will not be done with any single bold move but through multiple coordinated actions. Despite the recent and significant advances in MI, the full scale of the opportunity is just beginning to unfold. In this episode, we discuss why some companies do better than others, what are the key performance indicators that can help categorise a company into leaders, planners, executors, or emerging companies; and how companies can identify where to get started based on their digital journey.

Join the conversation with Vijay D’Silva, Senior Partner at McKinsey & Company, Bruce Lawler, Managing Director for MIT MIMO and host Daphne Luchtenberg, Director of Communications, Operations Practice, EMEA.

A digital path to sustainability

In the current geopolitical context, local manufacturing and supply chain resilience are becoming increasingly important. At the same time, organizations face an imperative to tackle environmental sustainability and climate change to strengthen operations and positively impact people and the planet. The Global Lighthouse Network – a World Economic Forum initiative in collaboration with McKinsey & Company – has inspired a playbook to answer these challenges. At Lighthouses Live, the Network’s flagship event broadcast in early April, we were delighted to convene a group of leaders to talk about how their organizations are scaling responsible growth through tech-enabled operations. They’re using them to power sustainability and workforce engagement.

Join the conversation with Katy George, Senior Partner at McKinsey & Company, Christine Bastian, Executive Vice President and Chief People Officer at Western Digital; Kathy Wengel, Executive Vice President and Chief Global Supply Chain Officer at Johnson & Johnson; and Åsa Tamsons, Senior Vice President and Head Of Business Area Technologies and New Businesses at Ericsson.
