Henry Ford is quoted as saying “The only thing worse than training your employees and having them leave is not training them and having them stay.” This has never been truer than during the time of digitalization. A digital transformation will fail without developing the workforce required to support it.

In this episode we have a conversation with Steve Moskowitz on the topic of workforce development. Steve is the Principal with Industry 4ward and Senior Content Director with the Manufacturing Leadership Council who also has held numerous roles across manufacturing.

In our conversation we discuss:

• The current challenges with workforce development
• Leadership’s role in transforming the workforce
• Possible ways to address the challenges now and in the future

Join our series hosts, Jonas Norinder and Don Mack, for a lively conversation and some education about this crucial digital transformation topic!
