In an era of AI acceleration, supply chain volatility, and shifting industrial policy, manufacturers must rethink how they produce, adapt, and grow. Traditional approaches are too rigid. Outsourcing is no longer sufficient. The answer? Agile manufacturing.
At this IESE Leadership Series event in New York, we will unveil the results of a new IESE research study on agile manufacturing in Europe — led by Professor Joan Jané, Dean of IESE NY Campus and Co-founder of the Agile Manufacturing Society. This groundbreaking study, sponsored by the Society, explores how agile manufacturing enables companies to scale, innovate, and de-risk operations without the capital intensity of traditional models — a blueprint that could reshape U.S. industry as well.
You’ll also hear from Albert Klein, CEO of Agile Manufacturing GmbH and Co-founder of the Society, who will share how these models are being implemented across Europe and introduce the Society’s U.S. chapter as a response to America’s manufacturing resurgence.
The session will conclude with an informal networking reception.
