The Quorum Principle Live
The Future of UK Manufacturing
⚲ MTC, Coventry
70% of manufacturing transformation programmes fail. That statistic has help since the mid-1980's, across manufacturing, globally.
The cause was never technology, in fact industry solved technical interoperability years ago. What it has never solved is organisational interoperability: getting the people across a manufacturer and its solution providers to actually work together toward one outcome.
This event brings together the three things that have to align to change that.
The three Future of UK Manufacturing pillars:
The UK's industrial strategy.
What government policy actually needs manufacturing to become, and what that means for the decisions being made on the shop floor this year.
The Quorum Principle.
Why the established model for manufacturing transformation was never built for the problem it's now being asked to solve, and what changes when organisational interoperability is treated as seriously as the technical kind.
Partner Capability.
The proven, working frameworks that close the gap, brought by the organisations already delivering them inside UK manufacturing.
Hosted at the Manufacturing Technology Centre
The Quorum Principle Live event takes place at the Manufacturing Technology Centre in Coventry, one of the UK's leading centres for manufacturing innovation.
Designed to help manufacturers develop, test and adopt new technologies, the MTC provides a fitting backdrop for a conference focused on digital transformation, automation, data, connectivity and AI.
