Anticipating the ‘factory of the future’, its technologies and professional uses is a priority for the industry.
But we need to think in terms of new production methods, new organizations and the new professional profiles required, taking into account the foreseeable changes in the next generation of employees.
Why is this theme important?
Demographics, technological progress, globalization, industrial disaggregation,, system complexity and interdependence, etc.
Looking ahead to 2030-40, the mega-trends that are affecting our world, our societies, and therefore the world of high-risk industrial activities, are forcing us to revisit our approach to safety. What impact could these developments have on HSE departments and, beyond that, organizations?
What will be the new production methods, new organizations and new professional profiles required in the future, given the foreseeable changes in technology, generations of employees, and society’s expectations? Why, and how should high-risk industries adapt their safety vision and actions to meet tomorrow’s challenges?
