Conference of Experts
How do we help manufacturers increase productivity and retention?
Right now, you know these skills differences:
• CNC Machine Operator – can make bolts all day long using a CNC machine.
• CNC Machinist – can take a block of metal and almost magically figure out how to turn it into a complex part that has high-value.
• Accountant – falls within the white collar designation.
Here’s the problem:
> The above skills differences are confused by white collar, blue collar designations. Shallow understanding is reflected in ambiguous decisions.
> Skills differences are rarely leveraged to solve problems that are unstructured, complex, creativity-driven, strategy-dependent, project-oriented.
