Future-proofing Australian Manufacturing SMEs

Want to make your manufacturing business more resilient, cost competitive and sustainable?

Now, more than ever, Australian manufacturers & process related industries should be thinking about their businesses in a new way. This workshop is designed specifically for Australian manufacturing & process related industry SMEs to help you assess the current state of your business and identify areas of focus and potential investment to transform and create a future-ready organisation.

The thought provoking content and industry examples in this futuremap® interactive workshop will make you think differently about aspects of your business, including:

• how it earns/spends revenue,
• delivers/provides value to customers
• how it engages/interacts with customers
• the impact of technology
• the business ecosystem and supply chain
• work practices and risk management.

The workshop helps you evaluate the business’s position across 13 key areas of industrial and manufacturing competitiveness to produce a point-in-time self-assessment and report that identifies both immediate, and medium-term, opportunities for growth and potential investment.

This workshop is for Victorian business owners or senior executives (eg. General managers) in a Victorian manufacturing or process related industry (including Food & Beverage, Meat processing, Dairy, Agri-business, Defence, Pharmaceuticals etc).

Developed by the Innovative Manufacturing CRC (IMCRC), futuremap® enables participants to map their maturity levels and capabilities in the areas of:

• Market positioning
• Leadership, strategy and change management
• Innovation and use of technology and
• Digital manufacturing (Industry 4.0)
