“ People who come into the workforce don ’ t want to sit at a desk and place orders . A machine could do that . We have to think differently because it is a new generation of people we ’ re hiring . You have to think about what ’ s interesting to them .
“ We recruit new college grads out of supply chain curriculums , from some of the top schools , and they can bring a lot of talent to the manufacturing sector . What we can do is attract them with our digital tools . They want to dive into it and they ’ re exactly the kind of people we want because to take this forward , you have to have practitioners .
“ We can ’ t go back to the old way , because they will come in and only think about the new way . A benefit of the transformation has to be bringing in the talent that knows how to use these tools and think differently about their work .”
