AI is transforming how manufacturers plan, produce, and compete—but without a modern workforce strategy, even the best technology can fall short. This 1-hour CPE webcast will explore how manufacturers can evolve workforce programs to support AI adoption, from strategic messaging and employee education to cross-functional collaboration.

 

Our panel of Grant Thornton professionals will break down how to build trust, reskill frontline teams, and align HR, operations, and IT around a shared strategy. Attendees will walk away with actionable guidance to prepare employees for the shift to higher-value work, ensuring AI enhances—rather than replaces—human decision-making on the plant floor.
