The New Factory Thinker
Your Five-Step BIG Idea Blueprint For True Success
In The New Economy
In this thought-provoking presentation, Bill Bishop explains how companies today are reinventing themselves as a "New Factory" in order to survive and succeed in a marketplace disrupted by technology.
"Technology such as artificial intelligence, machine learning algorithms, data analytics, robotics, business process automation, the Blockchain and new networked business models are disrupting the marketplace on a fundamental level," Bishop says. "And yet, 99% of companies today, including most Internet and technology companies, still operate like they are in the 20th Century or even the 19th Century."
"I call them old factories because their fundamental business model is not designed to survive and succeed in today’s technologically-disrupted marketplace."
"That's why I teach entrepreneurs and business people how to re-wire their minds for New Factory Thinking, a new kind of thinking about business that is more suited for today's marketplace."
Based on his experience working with more than 5,000 entrepreneurial companies during the past 30 years, Bill explains why the old factory approach is obsolete, and gives you a blueprint for building a New Factory."
"Companies like Apple, Google, Amazon—along with hundreds of small entrepreneurial companies—are thriving today because they reinvented themselves as a New Factory."
"That's why this is not just a theory. It's already being used by future-oriented companies that truly understand that the world has changed irreversibly."
"And by becoming a New Factory, they are able to take full advantage of today's new market conditions.”
