Focus on Practice Meeting 2020

12th Focus on Practice Meeting

Oxford
Learning Agility in the Flow of Work - Leveraging A.I., Big Data and Robotics

January 29-30, 2020

Comau Robot Manufacturing Plant
Turin, Italy

ABOUT

Comau, a global leader in automotive robotics, and part of the FCA Group of companies, has kindly agreed to host our 12th Focus on Practice meeting in Turin, Italy To maximize the experience of the context, we will meet where the flow of work takes place - directly in their Robot Factory next to FCA's Maserati plant.

 

Building on conversations we had within an ECLF Member Interest Group, we are going to deep-dive into the experiences of Comau and FCA in leveraging Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, and Robotics to seemlessly integrate learning into the flow of work. We will also take a closer look at the interplay of humans and machines as well as between formal and informal learning.

PROGRAM

Our 12th Focus on Practice meeting is dedicated to one of the "big themes" related to the future of work: the emerging and changing relationship between humans and machines. Comau - one of the leading industrial robot manfuctureres of the world - will host us in the Center of their manufacturing plant, allowing us to experience this multi-faceted topic first hand.

Some highlights of the agenda include

  • Comau's "Humanfacturing" concept - an approach to address human-machines collaboration
  • An experiental session in which you "play" with educational robots
  • A journey through the evolution of Comau Academy from their initial focus on getting the basics right to today's impactful learning architecture that reaches way beyond the enterprise
  • An in-depth look how FCA Group creates learning agility to maximize integration with the flow of work.

As always, there will be ample time for peer exchange and sharing, during the working sessions, and over dinner in one of Turin's great restaurants with their famous Piemont cuisine.
