Events
The Future of Manufacturing Foundation hosts events to bring people together around a shared purpose – strengthening the future of the manufacturing sector. By creating opportunities for industry leaders, practitioners, educators and future talent to meet, we encourage open discussion, knowledge sharing and collaboration across the community.
Our events are designed to inspire and inform. Through workshops, talks and discussions led by experienced industry leaders, we explore real challenges and practical ideas that can help individuals and organisations develop. For those attending, it is an opportunity to gain new perspectives, build connections and be part of a wider movement focused on improving the future of manufacturing.
Maximising Product Value
This workshop is designed to help manufacturing leaders review how effectively their product portfolio supports profitability, operational performance, and long-term business strategy.
Led by Steve Dougan, the session combines practical experience with structured thinking to help organisations identify opportunities to simplify complexity, improve value, and strengthen commercial performance.

High Performance Learning Lab
High-performing organisations are built by high-performing teams. While many leaders focus on processes, systems and performance measures, sustainable success ultimately depends on how people work together, communicate, solve problems and respond to change.
The High Performance Learning Lab is an interactive leadership workshop that combines practical learning with LEGO® Serious Play® to help leaders explore the behaviours, dynamics and conditions that create exceptional team performance.
