What does “manufacturing transformation” actually mean today, and why do so many organisations still struggle to move it beyond the pilot stage?

Join Nick Leeder (CEO UK&I, INCIT) as he hosts a live, 30-minute fireside chat with Kevin Clark (VP & Head of Industrial Strategy, Siemens) and Jeff Winter (Industry Advisor & Board Member, MX.0 Event Chair). Together, they share an honest assessment of the UK manufacturing landscape, from scaling technology investments to closing the skills gap.

Executive Overview & Key Takeaways

As AI and advanced automation move higher up the executive agenda, the definition of digital transformation has shifted. Yet, thousands of UK manufacturers remain stuck in “pilot paralysis,” unable to deploy solutions across full enterprise operations.

• Redefining Transformation in the AI Era:
  How the conversation around industrial technology has evolved and where leaders are placing their bets now.
• Escaping Pilot Paralysis:
  The operational and cultural barriers that stall digital adoption—and what high-performing manufacturers do differently to scale.
• Pragmatic Entry Points for SMEs:
  How small and medium manufacturers can begin transforming when personnel, time, and tech budgets are constrained.
• Rethinking the Skills Gap:
  Why workforce challenges are as much about sector perception as they are about training pipelines, and what strategies successfully attract new talent.
• Evaluating High-ROI Technology:
  Practical frameworks for deciding which emerging technologies deliver real value versus chasing short-term trends.
