Workshop Date: December 8, 2022

Influencing the related integration of emerging industrial and digital technologies. The post-Covid-19 and inflationary environment path forward is very different prior to shutting down and we must now emerge with a creative approach as the future may remain unpredictable.  The main goal of business over the next few years will be survival and implementing the flexibility to adapt to continuous change.  

Energy, Agriculture, Mining, Oil and Gas, HHS, logistics, and other industries all create and share data and resources across the supply chain from feedstock to the consumer. To enable and support the constant and changing demands and the diversification of flexible operations we must integrate emerging industrial, digital, mobile, and legacy information technology with the social, political, economic, environmental, and medical environment. To survive and prosper we also must change from the old and traditional ways of thinking.  

Flexibility is critical for survival in constantly changing economies, and it is crucial to understand trends, business models, and enabling technologies that are interlinked and connected to the past and present social economic, environmental, and cultural drivers.
