Live Executive Roundtable

From AI Pilots to Frontline Adoption

How leading manufacturers are raising workforce capability, recovering skilled capacity, and scaling trusted execution — with plant-level innovation enabled by enterprise governance.

Join Microsoft, USG Corporation, REA Magnet Wire, OpsMate AI, and EAC for a practical discussion on how manufacturers are increasing workforce capability, recovering skilled capacity, preserving operational knowledge, and enabling plant-level innovation within enterprise governance.

Manufacturers are raising workforce capability and scaling AI within enterprise governance.

Output growth has stalled

Productivity is flat despite record capital and technology investment. Higher workforce capability is now the constraint.

Operational knowledge is walking out

Frontline tenure is falling fast. Hard-won expertise must be captured and scaled before it leaves the plant.

Skilled capacity is being lost

Too much expert time is spent searching, documenting, and reporting — capacity that can be returned to higher-value work.

Governance enables innovation

Leaders are giving plants room to innovate while IT scales AI safely — enterprise governance and local speed, together.

Why Attend

A practical, peer-led discussion — not a product demo.

Align IT and plant leadership on where value is real

Focus investment on the use cases that create measurable operational value first.

Move from pilots to trusted frontline execution

How manufacturers are turning early wins into governed, everyday execution on the plant floor.

Enable plant innovation within enterprise governance

Give plants room to solve local problems while IT preserves security, scalability, and architecture.

Increase workforce capability and recover skilled capacity

Raise the performance of every employee and return expert time from non-value-added work to higher-value work.

Preserve and scale operational knowledge

Capture tribal knowledge before it leaves — and make it usable across shifts, sites, and new hires.

Scale trusted AI across plants and business units

Deploy safely across sites without losing central control, governance, or enterprise standards.
