Session Spotlight💡 At the 2026 Connected Worker: Energy Summit, Brent R. will be leading a masterclass that unpacks the strategic and architectural decisions that can make or break your AI investments. In a landscape where AI capabilities are doubling every 6–10 months, the risk of technological obsolescence is real and costly. Poorly chosen initiatives can lead to mounting technical debt, draining resources from high-value opportunities and delaying ROI in markets where every dollar must count. Join the masterclass to learn how to prioritize AI initiatives by evaluating not only their potential value but also their resilience to change to determine whether an initiatives long-term upkeep is justified in the rapidly evolving AI landscape, and more. This masterclass has limited availability!

Thank you for joining us Catherine (Cat) Ross, and for sharing some interesting takeaways from the #CWManufacturing summit last week! ⭐ Make sure to check our Cat's thoughts below. ⬇️
What are we really doing with technology for the workforce? 🤔 Are we using technology for the sake of using it or do we have purpose? Are we shoving it down employees' proverbial throats or are we introducing tools and resources that will enable people to be better, to feel better and to do better? This was our conversation today at the The Connected Worker Summit Series as Catherine (Cat) Ross, Aneesa Muthana and I shared our thoughts and experiences on success strategies for adoption and use of new capabilities in the workplace. What's foundational, Aneesa? Trust. What's foundational, Tiffanie? Communication. What do you think is foundational for a technology journey in the workplace? We had a great time with this crucial conversation. I hope you're having this discussion, too! #CWManufacturing #ConnectedWorker #Summit #Manufacturing #Technology #People #womeninmfg #hrtechnology

Thank you to one of our #CWManufacturing Summit's industry partners CESMII! ⭐ Was great to have John Dyck speak in a panel on 'Strengthening U.S. Competitiveness Through Smart Manufacturing.' See you at the next one!
At this week’s The Connected Worker Summit Series, CESMII CEO John Dyck joined an inspiring panel of Smart Manufacturing Executive Council leaders, Audrey St.Onge, President & CEO, NA Baking Business, Lallemand and Maria Carolina Araujo, PMP, Vice President, Global Innovation Engineering, McCain Foods — for a discussion titled “Strengthening U.S. Competitiveness Through Smart Manufacturing.” The discussion focused on the critical intersection of business strategy and manufacturing strategy, how aligning these two dimensions enables organizations to innovate faster, operate more efficiently, and compete globally. Key themes from the discussion included: 🔹 Strategy: How does Smart Manufacturing connect to the company’s broader business strategy? 🔹 Organizational structure and dynamics: How can we inspire appropriate levels of risk-taking to accelerate transformation? 🔹 Funding, plants, and enterprise: How can we justify and enable engagement from the plants to support the Smart Manufacturing journey? 🔹 The Workforce: How can we better engage, develop, and inspire our frontline teams? Thank you to the Connected Worker Conference organizers for facilitating this important conversation. True competitiveness starts with a unified vision that connects business goals with smart manufacturing execution. #SmartManufacturing #ConnectedWorker #Interoperability #ManufacturingLeadership #CESMII #SMEC #USCompetitiveness #WorkforceDevelopment #DigitalTransformation
