Industry 4.0

We surveyed 1,600 C-level executives across 19 countries to explore a core question: How ready are the leaders of businesses and government agencies to harness the full potential of Industry 4.0 to benefit their clients, their people, their organisation, their communities, and society more broadly?

Key highlights from the global report:

• Just 14 percent of respondents are highly confident their organisations are ready to fully harness the changes associated with Industry 4.0
• Only a quarter of CXOs surveyed are highly confident they have the right workforce composition and skill sets needed for the future, despite 84 percent saying they are doing everything they can to create a workforce for Industry 4.0
• CXOs overwhelmingly (87 percent) believe Industry 4.0 will lead to more equality and stability, and three-quarters say business will have much more influence than governments and other entities in shaping this future
• Yet less than a quarter of those surveyed believe their own organisations hold much influence over critical factors such as education, sustainability, and social mobility
