Join our Exclusive Roundtable for Manufacturing Leaders on Friday March 27. This exclusive roundtable is part of the Prowareness Manufacturing Community, a connected and committed network of professionals shaping the future of the manufacturing sector. Together, we dive into the real-world challenges of today’s dynamic industrial landscape, with a specific focus on the behavioral, cultural, and process-related hurdles that arise when adopting an Agile mindset.
Manufacturing Roundtable:
Many leaders in manufacturing and hardware product development face performance challenges that cannot be resolved by process improvements or the introduction of a new agile framework alone. In this roundtable, we explore how organizational design directly impacts performance and why organizations need to be truly fit for purpose to achieve meaningful and sustainable results.
The session is led by Roland Flemm, an experienced organizational design coach and Professional Scrum Trainer with a strong background in both software and hardware development. He supports leaders across industries in improving performance by designing organizations that are aligned with their purpose and strategy.
Roland is the co creator of Org Topologies and co author of the book 10X ORG. He has extensive experience guiding agile transformations in complex hardware and manufacturing environments. His work includes training and coaching engagements with organizations such as Schneider Electric, Sigmax, Thales, TU Delft, and Lely.
During this roundtable, we will explore:
Participants can expect a hands on and reflective session with experienced peers. This is an interactive roundtable rather than a presentation driven format, offering sharp insights, practical language, and meaningful dialogue.
The session is grounded in the 10X ORG organizational development system and draws on:
Org Topologies
The MADE method for evolutionary design through experimentation
Clear and practical organizational design principles
The focus is on strengthening the connection between strategy, people, and capabilities to improve overall organizational performance.
Topics include:
Why performance challenges are typically rooted in organizational design rather than people or tools
How different strategic goals require different organizational structures
How to apply organizational design principles in hardware and manufacturing environments
How to evolve organizations through experimentation using Org Topologies and the MADE method
How to move beyond incremental process improvements toward sustainable performance gains
This roundtable is intended for leaders in manufacturing and hardware product development such as managers, directors, and senior professionals who are responsible for improving performance in complex product development environments, who feel that agile transformations or process optimizations are not delivering the expected results, and who want to strengthen their leadership by applying organizational design in a practical and effective way.
