As the global economy continues to evolve towards the next normal and emerge from the initial impacts of COVID-19, we focus on one of the key industries behind global growth: Manufacturing.

Join Bâton Global for our latest podcast, moderated by Kavilash Chawla and featuring Mike Ralston and Joe Murphy, where we explore the manufacturing economy in general and share insights into how Iowa Manufacturers are increasing their competitiveness globally.

Recent headwinds have accelerated the need for manufacturers to utilize emerging technologies to leverage automation, increase their digital capabilities, and retain top talent in new working conditions. We have the privilege of speaking to Charles Sukup, Chairman of Sukup Manufacturing Co., who has successfully tapped into culture to create a high performing innovative organization.

Charles shares key takeaways in how manufacturers can build and maintain cultures of innovation within their organizations.

Join hosts John Economos and Molly Lopez, MS, CAE for our latest bâton sâlon episode: Workforce Development in Manufacturing – Aligning People with Work.

Two talented business leaders and difference-makers in manufacturing, Stephanie Gott and Molly Varangkounh, share their stories about the successes and failures they’ve witnessed when it comes to driving business results by optimizing talent and aligning people with work.

Whether you work in the manufacturing industry or not, there’s a truth that often eludes us as we go about our day-to-day responsibilities. And that is that business problems stem from people problems. When business goals aren’t achieved, many of us have the tendency to make changes to a process, to implement new internal policies, or to invest in new resources in hopes that they serve as the idealistic “quick fix”. The reality is that steps like these are often reactionary, and they do not thoughtfully consider what is typically an organization’s most expensive asset – its people.
