To remain competitive Australian manufacturers need to think about their business in new ways. Adopting digital technology is becoming imperative for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in manufacturing and process related industries.

This futuremap® workshop will help you explore alternative ways of creating value for your business and your customers and take a step in your digital transformation journey. The event will provoke your thinking and demystify how Industry 4.0 digital technologies, business model innovation and leadership can transform your business.

The workshop uses the futuremap® business diagnostic tool, an interactive tool designed and developed by the Innovative Manufacturing CRC (IMCRC), specifically for Australian manufacturing & process related industry SMEs. The tool develops an assessment of the business across 13 key areas of industrial and manufacturing competitiveness identified to help transform and advance the manufacturing operation.

At the end of the workshop, participants will be provided a personalised futuremap® report identifying growth opportunities, areas of improvement and resources to assist tackling the next steps.
