WORKSHOP A: Build Better Framework: 5 Strategic Levers to Transform Manufacturing Performance
How do some manufacturers achieve high success rates with transformation projects, while others see disappointing or unsustainable results?
This workshop offers a rapid self-assessment to benchmark your practices against a five lever framework for successful transformation.
The framework offers a structured way to assess how well your team balances:
• Human capability with data-driven problem solving
• Experimentation with governance
For each strategic lever, you'll examine the key elements, best practices, and technology use cases that support better operational performance.
You'll learn what "good" looks like, modelled on insights from successful manufacturing transformation programmes with global manufacturers.
You'll leave with a takeaway framework to identify priorities and facilitate more effective conversations with your teams about how to become better.

WORKSHOP B: Transformation Lines of Communication - 'The Comms Specialist'
Successful transformation is not just about what you do, it's about how clearly, consistently, and credibly you communicate it. This workshop positions transformation leaders as chief communicators, responsible for maintaining strong lines of communication both up to the board and down to frontline teams. Participants will explore how to build trust, manage narrative tension, and ensure strategy and execution speak the same language.
Key discussion areas:
- How transformation leaders become the central communication hub
- Creating a clear line of sight from board priorities to team actions
- Translating strategic intent into messages teams can act on
- Managing resistance, fatigue, and mixed signals during long programmes
1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
