Address

John is a globally recognised thought leader on Industry 4.0. Prior to starting his own company in 2023, John’s career included senior roles at Kearney, SAP, EY, Atos and Aveva as well as roles in automation systems integration and over ten years in manufacturing.

It was this career that enabled John to identify what he believes to be a systemic problem in global manufacturing. More importantly, he identified a solution based on radical collaboration that he has called ‘The Quorum Principle’ for which he has now created significant momentum and international interest in the concept.

The UK has a unique set of challenges that threaten it’s ability to compete internationally and remain profitable. Technology doesn’t provide a competitive advantage because most technologies are available globally. The question therefore is what can we do differently to compete?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most transformative technologies of our time, and it is changing the way we do business and run organisations. AI is transforming the fields of marketing, innovation, sales, HR, finance, IT, and customer service, providing highly efficient tools and enabling personalized strategies.

However, embracing AI is not just about investing in technology. Will we dare to see beyond the technology and ask: how will this reshape our people, processes, and platforms?
