 Roger
N. Nagel,
Harvey Wagner Professor and Senior Fellow at Lehigh University
Professor Nagel will
explore how agility can enhance global product development using
design anywhere, manufacture anywhere strategies. Drawing from
successful global production case examples (Acer, Boeing, Dell, GE,
textile firms, and others), he will share key lessons of four
advanced agility concepts:
- The strategic
power of developing and building products in a borderless
environment using virtual teams of people working across
organizational lines;
- Building agile
relationships based on mutual trust and empowerment;
- Learning how to
collaborate across multiple organizations with each
accepting responsibility for significant innovation, working on
each other’s needs and exploring new opportunities together.
- Providing not only
high quality successful outcomes, but also ensuring that the
experiences of all parties provide value to the customer and
each other in the unique ways that each of them see and measure
value.
These agility
concepts are information fueled and enabled. Nagel will examine the
use of information infrastructures in companies such as Dell, Intel,
Cisco, UPS, who are building new 21st century strategies focusing on
being more agile and using agility as a competitive differentiation
mechanism in global product development
Finally, Dr.
Professor Nagel will share his perspectives on the levels of
information integration required in various global production
examples. While some companies can collaborate using simple
information sharing and connection tools, there is a spectrum of
capability from connection, to coordination, synchronization and
true integration of information in global production systems. The
technological capabilities and cultural implications of successfully
using these capabilities will be examined.

The Web has enveloped
manufacturing, and given rise to technologies that make DAMA
possible—remote collaboration, telerobotics, knowledge management
and accounting, wireless networking, and so much more. Previously
unheard of ROI multiples are now commonplace. Dr. Orr will provide a
whirlwind survey of what is available and what is coming in DAMA
support technologies, in his inimitable entertaining style. He will
end his presentation with the secret behind successful
implementation of these technologies, and how you can make it work
for you.
