Innovation and Talent Management
in a new era of Automated and Information-driven Manufacturing
“Innovation and Talent Management” need to be a high priority to maintain our nation’s current but very vulnerable leadership as the world’s largest manufacturer. The bottom line is to develop and maintain long-term, high-quality job creation, you have to invest in innovation. If you want to improve and maintain US economic growth and secure America’s future in a global economy, you have to invest in innovation.
One key innovation that is driving manufacturing productivity today is industrial automation and information technology. Modern, automated and IT-enabled manufacturing provides economic growth and the only real sustainable, high-quality job creation. As a result, our call to action is for U.S. industrial policies that focus federal R&D and economic stimulus on “industrial automation and information technology” to keep U.S. manufacturing globally competitive in the 21st century.
