Monetizing the Internet of Things: Extracting Value from the Connectivity Opp...Capgemini
Cisco has estimated that the Internet of Things (IoT) has the potential to generate about $19 trillion of value over the coming years. The staggering potential size-of-the-prize has certainly caught the attention of the world’s business community. In a recent survey of senior business leaders around the globe, 96% said their companies would be using IoT in some way within the next 3 years. However, there is a catch – most organizations are yet to derive significant commercial value from IoT. Our research shows that 70% of organizations do not generate service revenues from their IoT solutions. We have looked at why organizations are falling short in monetizing the IoT, and have tried to capture some initial observations on monetization models in what is still a very fast-developing marketplace.

Industrial Metaverse Definition
Industrial Metaverse is a new ecology of deep integration between new information and communication technologies and real economy represented by the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and digital twin, whose ultimate goal is to promote the efficient development of real industry and build a new manufacturing and service system covering the whole industrial chain and the whole value chain.
The industrial metaverse, a precise reconstruction and re-creation of social and physical attributes in the real world by the digital world, is the materialization of artificial intelligence in the real world, moreover, it is an important part of the real world and real economy.
As an interface for the introduction of digital capabilities into the real world and the real economy, the industrial metaverse will be a new generation of discovery tools, efficiency tools, and innovation tools for realizing the transformation and upgrading of enterprises' hard technologies.
Of course, the beautiful vision proposed by the industrial metaverse needs to be integrated into applications and scenarios by way of integration and innovation.
The fourth stage of the Industrial Revolution is upon us due to the far-reaching integration, accelerated by the Internet of Things, of Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT). This creates completely new opportunities as a result of new combinations of mental, physical and mechanical work by integrating the internet, sensors and embedded systems.
The Internet of Things enabled IT/OT convergence leads to cost reduction as a consequence of predictive maintenance, speed and intelligence, thanks to Machine-to-Machine communication and improved forms of Human-Machine Interaction. M2M interaction between and within machines and systems is the cyber-physical heart of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Evaluation of technology, trade, and inclusive development: Chinese experiencesAkhilesh Chandra Prabhakar
The present study begins by surveying, broadly supports the assertion that technology, trade, sustainability and
development-led globalization is the path in the Chinese context not adequately paid to attention except with very few
original or significant contributions. This research examines the existing pattern in the areas of trade, technology,
investment with a view to locate in the development context in the era of globalization. This study also investigates
theories of trade, technology movement under capitalist paradigm along with the empirical one. The survey broadly
supports the frequent, through usually undocumented, assertion that China’s socialist market paradigm was not
different from the capitalist mode of production as tended to neglect and to which they had made few if any original or
significant contributions. Alongside, this study used secondary data and analyzed, where the results confirmed that
foreign direct investment (FDI), trade and economic growth indicated the presence of long-run sustainable equilibrium
relationship between them but created income inequality gap widely among people. It is, thus, important for
policymakers to remove obstacles and improve the respective absorptive capacity in order to reap maximized positive
inclusive development with equality basis.

How to Uncover Successful Additive Applications that Lead to Profitable GrowthGE코리아
What is additive manufacturing?
3D PRINTING
Additive manufacturing, also knows as 3D printing, is a process that creates a physical object from a digital design file.
Additive manufacturing enables engineers to design parts, systems and shapes once thought
impossible to make. Additive manufacturing allows for complex design geometries, making products that are lighter, stronger and more efficient, revolutionizing products in many industries.
Why additive …
Expands what is possible … opens up new engineering capabilities and business opportunities to optimize part & system designs in a way we cannot with traditional manufacturing processes
Improves quality … eliminates design trade offs; reduced defect opportunities, digital v. analog control, reduced anomaly size and frequency v. traditional castings Simplifies systems … more robust designs, reduced part counts, reduced braze/weld/rivet/bolted joints and assemblies; optimized systems

The power of one percent.
GE data suggests that over the next 15 years, a mere one percent improvement in industrial productivity could lead to billions of dollars in savings for the industrial sector. This translates to $8.6 trillion in gains by 2025. Connectivity offers the key to that improvement.
If it’s connected, it needs to be protected.
While many OT networks may be viewed as closed systems,
the installation of new controllers, upgrades to existing assets
and integration into broad IT networks introduces new risk.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Introduction
A powerful, deep and far-reaching
transformation is underway in industry. It
is fundamentally changing the way we
design and manufacture products, and
what these products can do. It is making
the complex supply and distribution
networks that tie the global economy
together faster, more flexible, and more
resilient. It is empowering human beings
to unleash more broad-based and
distributed creativity and
entrepreneurship. It is redefining the
competitive landscape in multiple sectors,
with far-reaching implications that will
reverberate through international trade
patterns and the distribution of global
growth. And it is affecting each of our daily
lives through major advances in health
care, energy, transportation, and the way
we work.
This transformation is the Future of
Work. Three major forces are converging
to shape it:
The first driving force is the Industrial
Internet. The lines between the physical
and digital world are becoming
increasingly blurred. The integration of
cloud-based analytics (“big data”) with
industrial machinery (“big iron”) is creating
huge opportunities for productivity gains.
As we have shown in previous studies,1
the rapid decline in the costs of both
electronic sensors and storing and
processing data now allows us to harvest
massive amounts of data from industrial
machinery. Using advanced analytics, we
can then draw insights that can increase
efficiency.
Machines like gas turbines, jet engines,
locomotives and medical devices are
becoming predictive, reactive and social,
making them better able to communicate
seamlessly with each other and with us.
The information they generate becomes
intelligent, reaching us automatically and
instantaneously when we need it and
allowing us to fix things before they break.
This eliminates downtime, improves the
productivity of individual machines—as jet
engines consume less fuel and wind
turbines produce cheaper power—and
raises the efficiency of entire systems,
reducing delays in hospitals and in air
traffic.
The second driving force is Advanced
Manufacturing. At the core of the
advanced manufacturing idea is the ability
to digitally link together design, product
engineering, manufacturing, supply chain,
distribution, and remanufacturing (or
servicing) into one cohesive, intelligent
system—a Brilliant Factory. New
production techniques like additive
manufacturing, or 3D printing, allow us to

Internet: Pushing the Boundaries of Minds and Machines”,

Internet @ Work”, GE White Paper, October 2013.

create completely new parts and products
with new properties.
They also give us more flexibility to
produce prototypes faster and at lower
cost. Engineers can “print” one part, test it
and, based on the test feedback, quickly
adjust the digital design and reprint an
improved version of the part—all using the
same additive manufacturing machine.
This accelerates the cycle of design,
prototyping and production. Adjustments
to the production process, as well as to
supply chain and distribution logistics, can
be calculated and enacted in real time.
This will turn the traditional factory into a
Brilliant Factory. Risk-mitigation and
resilience-enhancing strategies will be
easier to develop, and will become an
integral part of the Brilliant Factory’s
automatic response/adjustment system.
Moreover, as we explore below, advanced
manufacturing will accelerate a shift
toward distributed production, micro-
factories, and mass-customization.
The third driving force is the Global
Brain. Technological progress and
economic growth are contributing to a
seismic shift in the role that human beings
play in the production process.
Technological progress, notably in High-
Performance Computing (HPC)2, robotics
and artificial intelligence, is extending the
range of tasks that machines can perform
better than humans can. This may have
painful short-term costs as some jobs are
displaced and some skills made obsolete.
But it dramatically augments the power
and economic value of the areas where
2 High Performance Computing leverages the power of
“clusters” of interconnected computers, normally referred
to as “nodes”. The coordinated computing power of the
nodes delivers much higher performance, enabling to
solve large-scale high-complexity problems in business,
science and engineering.
humans excel: creativity, entrepreneurship
and interpersonal abilities.
Meanwhile, economic growth is extending
to tens of millions more people both
access to the Internet and the time to take
advantage of it, since better access to
food, clean water and health care will free
up precious hours. Millions more people
will join the ranks of those who can both
tap and contribute to the global stock of
knowledge. The global brain—the
collective intelligence of human beings
across the globe integrated by digital
communication networks—will grow
bigger and more powerful.3 The global
brain is, in effect, the human version of
HPC.
Open-source platforms and crowd-
sourcing are two of the most effective
ways to unleash the creativity and
entrepreneurship potential of the global
brain. Industry is increasingly relying on
both in a trend that will deliver greater
flexibility and greater rewards to both
employers and employees—and redefine
relationships between the two. Employers
will gain access to a larger pool of talent,
which could vary depending on the task at
hand; and workers will gain greater
entrepreneurial control over their skills
and talents.
The Future of Work will substantially
accelerate productivity and economic
growth. In our Minds and Machines paper,
we estimated the major economic benefits
that can accrue from the Industrial
Internet alone, based on a detailed
assessment of sector-specific efficiency
gains.4 Some economists argue that

Russell (1983) in his book “The Global Brain: speculations
on the evolutionary leap to planetary consciousness.” Los
Angeles, JP Tarcher.

minds and machines” we estimated that a 1% efficiency
gain achievable through industrial internet technologies

modern innovations have nowhere near
the transformative power and potential
economic impact of the industrial
revolution,5 but we believe the Future of
Work will be as transformational as the
industrial revolution, and possibly more.6
This will bring major improvements to
the quality of our lives.
This transformation will not happen
overnight. Its seeds were sown some time
ago and have taken time to germinate.
But we are now entering the stage where
the changes we describe are set to
accelerate decisively. To use an expression
coined by Ray Kurzweil, we are entering
into the second half of the chessboard—
the phase where changes become all of a
sudden a lot more visible, where science
fiction more quickly turns into reality.7
This transformation will not happen by
itself. We will have to invest in the new
technologies and adapt organizations and
managerial practices. We will need a
robust cyber security approach to protect
sensitive information and intellectual
property, and to safeguard critical
infrastructure from cyber-attacks. The
education system will have to evolve to
ensure that students are equipped with
the right skills for this fast-changing
economy. Continuous education and
would yield savings of $90B in the Oil and Gas sector, 66B
in the power sector, 63B in health care, 30B in aviation and
27B in rail transport.

6 The Industrial Revolution spanned a period of around 150
years beginning in the mid-18th century, and can be seen
as divided in two distinct periods: the First Industrial
Revolution, triggered by the invention of the steam engine,
and the Second Industrial Revolution, starting around
1850, which saw a broader acceleration of technology,
with the development of the internal combustion engine
and electricity. Since the two revolutions developed along
a continuum, we adopt the convention of “Industrial
Revolution” to refer to both periods combined.

computers exceed human intelligence”, Penguin.
retraining will be needed to cushion the
impact of transitional disruptions in the
labor market. It will require time and
investment, but this wave of technological
innovation will fundamentally transform
the way we live.
This paper is the first chapter of an
ongoing research project and aims to lay
out the framework for the Future of Work,
exploring the three forces converging to
shape it. In subsequent papers we will
delve more deeply into how the Brilliant
Factory works, discuss the evolving
interaction of technology and the global
brain, explore the potential of
technological developments like robotics
and artificial intelligence, and assess the
implications for the competitive and
macroeconomic landscape. Here we will
more broadly describe the changes afoot.
We will also strive to provide very concrete
examples to bring these changes to life.
5. 5
1. The Industrial Internet
The lines between the physical and digital
world are becoming increasingly blurred.
The integration of cloud-based analytics
(“big data”) with industrial machinery (“big
iron”)—the Industrial Internet—is creating
huge opportunities for productivity gains.
Industrial machines are being equipped
with a growing number of electronic
sensors, which allow them to see, hear
and feel a lot more than ever before—all
while generating enormous amounts of
data. Sophisticated analytics then sift
through this data, providing insights that
allow us to operate machines—and thus
fleets of airplanes and locomotives, and
entire systems like power grids or
hospitals—in entirely new, more efficient
ways.
Brilliant machines
Electronic sensors have been around for
some time, but their cost is rapidly
declining and, thanks to the advances of
cloud computing, the cost of storing and
processing data is rapidly declining as
well. This is accelerating the scalability of
the Industrial Internet.
We are entering a world where the
machines we work with are not just
intelligent, but brilliant. They are predictive,
reactive and social: airplane engines,
locomotives, gas turbines, and medical
devices are able to communicate
seamlessly with each other and with us.
Information is becoming intelligent; it
reaches us automatically and
instantaneously when we need it. We
don’t need to look for it.
While many industrial assets have been
endowed with sensors and software for
some time, software has traditionally been
physically embedded in hardware in a way
that the hardware needs to change every
time the software is upgraded. We are
beginning to deploy technologies like
embedded virtualization, multi-core
processor technology and advanced
cloud-based communications throughout
the industrial world. This new software-
defined machine infrastructure will allow
machine functionality to be virtualized in
software, decoupling machine software
from hardware and allowing us to
automatically and remotely monitor,
manage and upgrade industrial assets. In
other words, the software of new-
generation industrial assets can be
upgraded remotely without changing any
hardware at all—much like the software in
our smartphones, instantly enabling new
functionalities.
Zero unplanned downtime
This allows us to shift to preventive,
condition-based maintenance. We’ll be
able to fix machines before they break
rather than servicing them on a fixed
schedule, and it will take us towards “zero
unplanned downtime”: no more power
outages, no more flight delays, and no
more factory shutdowns.
Ten percent of flight delays and
cancellations are currently caused by
unscheduled maintenance events, costing
the global airline industry an estimated $8
billion—not to mention the impact on all of
us in terms of inconvenience, stress, and
missed meetings as we sit helplessly in an
airport terminal. To address this problem,
GE has developed a self-learning
predictive maintenance system that can
be installed on any aircraft to predict
problems a human operator might miss.
While in flight, the aircraft will talk to the
technicians on the ground; by the time it
lands, they will already know if anything
needs to be serviced. For U.S. airlines
alone, this system could prevent over
We are entering
a world where
the machines
we work with
are not just
intelligent, but
brilliant.
6. 6
60,000 delays and cancellations a year,
helping over 7 million passengers get to
their destinations on time.
The health care industry also has huge
gains at stake with the Industrial Internet;
just a one percent reduction in existing
inefficiencies could yield more than $60
billion in savings globally. Nurses today
spend an average of 21 minutes per shift
searching for equipment, which is less
time spent caring for patients. Industrial
Internet technologies allow hospitals to
electronically monitor and connect
patients, staff, and medical equipment,
reducing bed turnaround times by nearly
one hour each. When you need surgery,
one hour matters; it means more patients
can be treated and more lives can be
saved.
Similar advances are taking place in
energy, including renewables like wind.
Remote monitoring and diagnostics, which
allow wind turbines to communicate with
each other and adjust the pitch of their
blades in a coordinated way as the wind
changes, have helped reduce the
electricity generation cost in wind farms to
less than five cents per Kwh. Ten years
ago, the equivalent cost was over 30
cents—six times as much.
Platforms and collaboration tools
Industrial Internet tools and applications
also help people collaborate in a faster
and smarter way, making our jobs not just
more efficient but more rewarding. Secure
and reliable cloud-based platforms today
allow teams of physicians and caregivers
to quickly confer on patient cases,
simultaneously access images and
reports, and collaborate on diagnosis and
treatment plans. By better leveraging each
other’s reports and expertise, health care
professionals can deliver better health
outcomes.
Systems like this are made possible by
integrated digital software platforms that
support a combination of information
collection and storage, new analytic
capabilities, and new modes of
collaboration. These platforms can provide
a standard way to run industrial scale
analytics and connect machines, data and
people. They can be deployed on
machines, on-premise or in the cloud, and
support technologies for distributed
computing and big data analytics, asset
data management, machine-to-machine
communication and mobility—all in a
secure environment that protects
industrial data and safeguards access to
machines, networks and systems.
7. 7
2. Advanced Manufacturing
“The way we make things” is changing.
A wide-ranging wave of industrial
innovations is changing every aspect of
the production process. New techniques
and materials mean we can make new
things in new ways. We can use what we
learn from data to reorganize the supply
and distribution networks that tie an
individual factory to its customers,
distributors and suppliers in ways that
enable greater speed and flexibility. The
cycle that starts with design and
prototyping, moving then to production,
and on to customer use and servicing, is
shortening and accelerating.
As the factory itself becomes intelligent—
more than just intelligent, brilliant—it can
predict, adapt and react more quickly and
efficiently than ever before. Advanced
manufacturing allows plant managers and
engineers to simulate the impact of
product design changes on the factory
floor and reorganize supply chains and
production processes in real time in
response to unexpected events. Advanced
manufacturing redefines the concept of
scale, and enables a shift towards
distributed manufacturing, micro-factories
and mass-customization, which we will
explore below.
New production processes and new
materials
While it is not new, the process of additive
manufacturing or “3D printing” has been
grabbing media headlines—and it is easy
to understand why. Besides the catchy
moniker, additive manufacturing is at a
stage where devoted amateurs can
experiment at home or in a garage.
The technology has been around since the
1980s when Charles Hull first developed a
process he called stereolithography (a
much less catchy name than 3D printing!),
creating a three-dimensional object from
a digital blueprint by adding successive
layers of specific materials. Over the
subsequent three decades, the process
has been refined, becoming more precise
and allowing for the use of a wider range
of materials. While the initial experiments
used a UV laser-solidifying photopolymer,
successive generations of 3D printers
have used plastic and metal powders.
Some 3D printers are capable of handling
multiple materials, so the objects they
produce can possess a combination of
different physical properties. Because of
this, additive manufacturing can now be
used to build medical implants and
industrial components like parts for
aircrafts and gas turbines—and perhaps
even human tissue.8
Why is 3D printing so impactful?
There are five major reasons:
1. Additive manufacturing enables the
design and production of new parts
and products that could not be
obtained with traditional
manufacturing techniques. Aircraft
engine lean-combustion combustor
components manufactured this way
can combine more than twenty
previous separate components into
one. Additively manufacturing
geometrically complex structures, such
as aircraft engine brackets,
substantially reduce the weight of
these parts.
2. Additive manufacturing is
fundamentally different from traditional
“subtractive” techniques which rely on
casting, cutting, drilling, milling and

8, 2014.
Manufacturing

and mass-
customization.
8. 8
joining materials. While subtractive
manufacturing “wastes” up to 90
percent of the raw material, with
additive manufacturing, almost all
printed material is part of the final
product.
3. Additive manufacturing enables the
creation of an entirely new ecosystem
of innovation through crowdsourcing of
design. Crowdsourcing platforms, such
as GrabCAD, allow manufacturers to
post design challenges that are
attacked by hundreds of engineers all
around the world. GE recently
conducted such a quest for an aircraft
engine bracket and received close to
700 entries. The winning design (from
Indonesia) reduced the weight by more
than 80 percent.
4. Additive manufacturing is highly flexible
since one can print very different parts
on the same machine (albeit
constrained by size and material).
5. Because of its flexibility, additive
manufacturing enables more localized,
distributed, and reconfigurable
production, which will completely
change supply chains as we know
them today.
While additive manufacturing has
captured the public’s imagination, only
0.02 percent of all goods in the United
States are produced using 3D printing9.
Can the benefits of additive
manufacturing be extended to large-scale
“traditional” manufacturing? The answer is
yes. We project that by 2020 over
100,000 parts will be additively
manufactured by GE Aviation, which
could reduce the weight of a single

Printing State of the Industry”, Wohlers Report 2013, May
2013, wohlersassociates.com.
aircraft by 1,000 pounds, resulting in
reduced fuel consumption.
Two major forces are spurring this
progress: (1) High Performance Computing
(HPC), and (2) the advent of “big data” to
factories and supply chains. Together,
these phenomena will enable vast
improvements of manufacturing
processes and systems, leading to a new
paradigm in manufacturing.
We call this new paradigm the Brilliant
Factory.10 11 Many of the elements of the
Brilliant Factory are not new,12 but the
systems integration and the feedback
loops described below are novel. HPC and
Internet-like data speeds in factories are
enabling the modeling accuracy and real-
time optimization of factories and supply
chains.

The Brilliant Factory
Just as in the case of the Industrial
Internet, the physical and digital worlds
are intertwining: every component of the
value chain generates an increasing
amount of data, which smart analytics
quickly turn into insights instantly
communicated across the relevant
components of the system. The basic
concept of the Brilliant Factory is simple:
creating a digital connection, or “thread”,
across three major areas of the value
chain: (1) manufacturing systems design,
(2) manufacturing systems operations and
(3) service operations (see Figure 1). By
creating a feedback loop from design to
product engineering to manufacturing
engineering to manufacturing and supply
chain operation to services and back to
engineering, factories can cut learning
cycles between manufacturing and
design, allowing for faster product
development and flawless factory
launches.
The manufacturing process starts with
design, which results in a digital blueprint.
GE’s Christine Furstoss explains:
Once a design has been determined, it is
transmitted digitally to manufacturing
engineering. Here the manufacturing
processes are modeled and simulated.
Are features producible? Will the
manufactured part give a structure that
will survive the stresses it encounters
when in use? What trade-offs can be
made to open up the tolerance to improve
part yields? These are a few of many
questions you can test and simulate. In
addition, factory flow and layout, robots
and manufacturing controls will be
simulated and optimized prior to actual
production.13

factories can cut

and design,

development
and flawless
factory
launches.
10. 10
Once product design and manufacturing
systems design have been virtually
validated, manufacturing parameters and
other programs and controls are
transmitted to the factory floor. Intelligent
machines then accept and translate the
data to physically make that part or
product.
The factory is digitally connected—
machines to machines, machines to plant-
floor execution systems, and factories to
suppliers and sales force—and creates a
completely transparent supply chain.
Suppliers must also integrate into this
thread to realize their innovation potential
within this ecosystem.
Using HPC analytics, simulations, and
algorithms optimizes production, logistics,
inventory, and product offerings for
factory, supply chain, and commercial
operations in real-time. This is particularly
important when unexpected failures
occur; a robot might malfunction (or
algorithms have predicted with high
confidence that it will malfunction within
the next 15 minutes), a supplier signals
that parts will be delayed, or an employee
is absent. Furstoss describes:
The Brilliant Factory will help adjust to
problems with throughput, quality, and
fulfillment, optimizing the extended
enterprise in real time. In fact, utilizing
predictive capability, the Brilliant Factory
even reacts to problems that have not
even happened yet, in a predictive and
pre-emptive fashion, resulting in a factory
that literally never stops. Knowledge
gained from the manufacturing process
can be fed back instantaneously to the
virtual manufacturing stage to make
modifications and improvements. Once
tested, new and improved processes can
be sent back to the Brilliant Factory to be
implemented (production feedback loop).
Once a product has been out with a
11. 11
customer for some time, it will need to be
serviced. It is at this stage that a lot of
new insights about the product’s usage
and shortcomings can be determined. In
fact, servicing parts can be thought of as a
failure mode and effects analysis for 100
percent of the products, which allows for
improvements in the design and
manufacturing process (design feedback
loop). Both the production and the design
feedback loop capture information and
generate new knowledge for engineering
and manufacturing of new and existing
parts. This is the essence of GE’s self-
improving Brilliant Factory. What we are
building is a truly open, collaborative
innovation model that captures and acts
on new information in ways that allow
product design and manufacturing
processes and systems to continuously
improve. What’s truly amazing is that we
are rapidly reaching a point where
machines will be able to make these
optimizations themselves through real-
time analytics and controls.14
Advanced manufacturing will also provide
us with a genetic mapping of materials,
production, use, and service history of
each manufactured unit. Knowing perfect
product genealogies will help engineers to
identify with greater speed and accuracy
the cause of any potential
underperformance or quality issue—which
can then be addressed with equally
prompt and targeted actions. It also will
provide an instant inventory of the exact
products that might be affected by an
issue, dramatically reducing the scale of
product recalls.
Moreover, advanced manufacturing
techniques can greatly expand the
potential employment of re-
manufacturing: the targeted replacement
14 Furstoss, Christine: ibid.
of broken or malfunctioning parts in a
machine while keeping the basic design
intact. Re-manufacturing can deliver up to
90 percent in energy savings over new
manufacturing, with corresponding
environmental benefits (by comparison,
recycling energy savings in this context
amount to less than 5 percent).15
The impact
Advanced manufacturing innovations
present a veritable revolution in industry.
New techniques are yielding new products
with new features and properties.
Eliminating the physical constraints of
traditional manufacturing techniques
expands the range of production
possibilities. And when the products are
industrial machines, these enhancements
translate into efficiency gains and cost
savings, like when lighter aircraft engines
require less fuel to run.
Even more importantly, combining new
manufacturing techniques with the data-
driven power of the Industrial Internet
allows us to tie together design, product
engineering, manufacturing engineering,
manufacturing, supply chain and
distribution in one cohesive, intelligent
digital thread—the Brilliant Factory.
The result is a tremendous gain in speed
and efficiency: a faster feedback look
between design, prototyping, production
and customer experience that enables the
entire production process to adjust in real
time, automatically, to unexpected
circumstances, guaranteeing “zero
unplanned downtime” at the production
system level. In the Brilliant Factory, risk-
mitigation and resilience-enhancing

Technology, 2008.
12. 12
strategies will be easier to develop, and
will become an integral part of the Brilliant
Factory’s automatic response/adjustment
system.
Because different parts can be built from
the same additive manufacturing
machine, additive manufacturing can also
change the nature of economies of scale.
Traditionally, a factory would need to
produce a very large number of identical
units with each machine to achieve the
benefits of economies of scale. Because
additive machines are more flexible,
factories can reach the same degree of
capacity utilization while manufacturing a
number of products with different
features. If economic efficiency no longer
hinges on the mass production identical
units, it then becomes possible, from a
profitability standpoint, to significantly
increase the number of different versions
of a specific product that can be churned
out by the same production facility.
Bespoke becomes nearly as easy and
cost-efficient as mass-produced.
Advanced manufacturing will enable
mass-customization.
Advanced manufacturing also brings
greater flexibility at the level of the factory
and the entire manufacturing system.
Scale remains extremely important, but
will become increasingly distributed with
greater reliance on smaller-scale
manufacturing plants, or micro-factories.
This would deliver a number of additional
advantages:
A greater ability to co-locate research,
design and manufacturing, accelerating
the innovation process.
A greater ability to bring production closer
to the market and optimize the production
chain against factors like transport costs
or local content requirements (though the
optimal location of production facilities will
ultimately depend on a number of key
factors, including the availability of talent,
the quality of infrastructure, and the
overall business environment including
regulation and taxation).
The flexibility to create jobs in areas where
the necessary talent is available but
suffers from constrained geographical
mobility. During the slow recovery from
the 2008 recession, for example, U.S. job
growth has been hampered in part by
reduced labor mobility as people were tied
to underwater mortgages and unable to
move to states with better job
opportunities. Micro-factories could allow
the jobs to come to them.

3. The Global Brain
New digital communication and analytical
tools are powering greater flexibility and
interconnectivity of machines. Similar
changes are transforming the human side
of the equation. Technological progress
will push a growing share of the workforce
toward creativity and entrepreneurship,
where humans have a clear comparative
advantage over machines. The global
brain—the collective intelligence of human
beings across the globe integrated by
digital communication networks—will
grow bigger and more powerful as tens of
millions more people gain access to
education and to the Internet, becoming
able to both tap and contribute to the
global stock of knowledge. Open-source
platforms and crowdsourcing are two of
the most effective ways to unleash the full
creativity and entrepreneurship potential
of the global brain. Companies are
increasingly relying on both of these to
deliver greater flexibility and greater
rewards to both employers and
employees—and redefine relationships
between the two.
Technology breeds creativity and
entrepreneurship
From the mechanization of agriculture to
the early automation in industry, the
shifting of tasks from humans to machines
has gradually unburdened us of a number
of physically arduous or mind-numbingly
repetitive tasks. This process is ongoing:
we delegate to machines the jobs they are
better suited to perform with greater
power, consistency and precision, and
focus on the ones for which humans have
a comparative advantage.
As machines and factories become
brilliant, education and skills become more
valuable. The last several decades have
seen a rise in the “college premium,” or the
difference in the average wage of college
graduates and high school graduates.16
This happened while the number of
college graduates increased, so even as
the supply of high-skills workers increased,
the demand for their services increased
even faster. Technological change has
increased the productivity of high-skilled
workers, making them more valuable and
more sought-after. This is what
economists call “skill-biased”
technological progress. 17
16 See for example Daron Acemoglu, “Technology and
Inequality”, NBER Reporter 2003; Acemoglu notes that this
new kind of innovation, where new technologies are
complementary to high skills workers, increasing their
productivity and wages, stands in contrast to the
technological change of the 19th century, which tended to
replace skilled workers through automation.
17 Jan Tinbergen, “Substitution of Graduate by Other
Labor”, Kyklos 27, 1974, first referred to a race between
education and technology: technological innovation raises
the productivity of skilled workers and hence the value of
education, but if education increases the number of skilled
workers above their demand, their wages will drop. For a
more recent treatment, with a detailed discussion of
implications for the US, see Claudia Goldin and Lawrence
F. Katz, “The Race Between Education and Technology”,
Harvard University Press, 2008; and the review by Daron
Acemoglu and David Autor: “What does Human Capital
Do? A review of Goldin and Katz’s The Race Between
Education and Technology”, Journal of Economic
Literature, 2012.

The picture is more complex and subtle,
however. The U.S. and Europe have each
experienced a polarization of jobs and
wages since the 1990s, where the
numbers of high-education, high-wage
jobs and low-education, low-wage jobs
have both increased relative to middle-
level jobs. Both high- and low-range
wages have also risen relative to middle-
range wages. In other words, technology
is displacing repetitive, routine white- and
blue-collar jobs, but it is also creating
more demand for creative high-skill jobs
(managerial, professional) and for low-skill
jobs that require adaptability and
interpersonal skills.18
This trend is set to continue. As brilliant
machines become better able to
communicate and self-regulate, they will
require less routine human intervention.
Gradually, robotics, artificial intelligence
and High-Performance Computing are
expanding the abilities of machines,
extending the range of tasks that they can
perform more efficiently, or less costly,
than we can. Smart grids are a reality, our
homes are becoming smarter, and self-
driving cars might be a common sight on
our roads sooner than we think. More and
more jobs that are repetitive or that can
be tackled via data mining techniques will
be efficiently assigned to machines.
A larger share of the human workforce will
correspondingly shift toward tasks that
leverage greater creativity. Creativity in
this context is the ability to think
independently, to identify new solutions—
18 See Daron Acemoglu and David Autor, “Skills, Tasks and
Technologies: Implications for Employment and Earnings”,
NBER Working Paper 16082, June 2010; Daron Acemoglu
and David Autor: “What does Human Capital Do? A review
of Goldin and Katz’s The Race Between Education and
Technology”, Journal of Economic Literature, 2012, and

Content of Recent Technological
Change: An Empirical Exploration.” Quarterly Journal of
Economics, 2003.
an ability which is boosted by the
availability of more powerful technology.
The transition will not be painless.
Technological progress is disruptive, and
as tasks get reallocated between humans
and machines, there will be jobs that get
displaced and skills that become obsolete.
This implies a real human, social and
economic transition cost that needs to be
addressed with a combination of
retraining and social safety measures.
But technological progress will continue to
create job opportunities and better
incomes at both ends of the skills
distribution. Technological progress does
boost productivity and economic growth,
and thereby creates greater purchasing
power; this, in turn, translates into greater
demand for new goods and services.19 This
process should be monitored closely to
ensure that the education systems and
company-sponsored training programs
keep the supply of skills closely aligned
with the shifting demand.
Indeed, a key trend is the emergence of
new kinds of jobs. Mechanical-digital
engineers, who understand both the
physical machine and its relevant data,
19 The key role of technological innovation as a driver of
productivity and economic growth has been long
recognized, and most famously and influentially
formalized by Robert Solow, “A Contribution to the Theory
of Economic Growth”, Quarterly Journal of Economics,
1956, which spawned a vast theoretical and empirical
literature over the following decades. Most relevant to the
discussion in our paper, a number of studies have shown
that the surge in US productivity growth in the mid-1990s
can in large part be ascribed to the Information and
Communications Technology advances of the previous
decade, see for example Kevin Stiroh, “Information
Technology and the US Productivity Revival: What Do the
Industry Data Say?” Staff Report,
Federal Reserve Bank of New York, nr. 116, January 2001;
and Barry Bosworth and Jack Triplett, “Productivity
Measurement Issues in Services Industries: “Baumol’s
Disease” Has Been Cured”, Federal Reserve Bank of New
York Economic Policy Review, September 2003; and Barry
Bosworth and Jack Triplett, “Services Productivity in the
United States”, in “Hard-to-measure goods and services:
Essays in Honor of Zvi Griliches”, University
of Chicago Press, 2007.

will be in high demand; so too will
managers who understand both their
industry and the associated analytics and
can reorganize the business to take full
advantage of new technologies. As the
physical and digital world become more
closely intertwined, more new jobs will
require us to be equally adept at hardware
and software.
Crowdsourcing and open-source
collaboration
A defining characteristic of the innovations
shaping the future of work is their ability to
leverage a larger set of potential
resources, with a variable geometry of
connections that shift and adapt
depending on the problem at hand.
Machines can communicate instantly with
each other and with us, tapping the
support of another machine or the
intervention of a technician as soon as
needed. Plants can leverage a wider set of
suppliers through an online platform, or
product designers can quickly channel the
feedback of a large customer base into
design changes. The same principle
applies to human talent.
We have discussed in our previous work20
how some of the applications of the
Industrial Internet are aimed exactly at
providing each worker with real-time
access to the knowledge and expertise of
all her colleagues. We can see this as
tapping the “global brain” of a single
company. But a much greater value can
be gained by tapping the true, unqualified
global brain—the collective intelligence of
human beings across the globe integrated
by digital communication networks. It is
the human version of High-Performance
Computing.
Open-source platforms and
crowdsourcing are two of the most
powerful ways to unleash the creativity
and entrepreneurship of the distributed
global talent pool. They bring to every
person, with enough curiosity and access
to the internet, the chance to apply her
skills and expertise to new problems,
including in completely different fields and
disciplines. They make it easier for start-
ups to raise capital and to attract talent.
Companies are beginning to understand
this, and are resorting more frequently
and extensively to crowdsourcing and
open-source competitions and
collaborations. We have mentioned in
Section 2 some of GE's initial experiences
in this area, and we believe this trend will
grow. Accessing a greater pool of talent
can leverage not only the ability and
experience of a larger number of domain
experts, but also the fresh perspectives of
brilliant individuals from different
disciplines who can approach a specific
problem from unconventional angles.
New platforms and companies aimed at
facilitating access to the global brain have
already emerged, such as GrabCAD for
20 Marco Annunziata and Peter C. Evans, “The Industrial
Internet @ Work”, GE White Paper, October 2013.

and digital

engineers and Computer Aided Design,
and Kaggle for data scientists. Scaling up
communities like these will require both
experimentation and organizational
adaption. Innovating firms need to find the
best combination of ongoing, sustained
proprietary efforts and open collaboration.
Issues of intellectual property will have to
be adequately addressed, and new
compensation schemes might need to be
developed. But the economic incentive is
simply too compelling for this process not
to move forward.
The global brain is poised to become
vastly bigger and more powerful in the
coming decades. Faster economic growth
in large emerging markets and dramatic
reductions in the cost of computing
power, together with the rapid spread of
mobile telephone networks, are giving
millions more people access to the
Internet—even if just installed as an ATM-
style “hole in the wall” or via a
smartphone.
Economic progress is also increasing
access to clean water, food and better
health care. Precious hours that were
previously absorbed attending to basic
survival needs can, instead, be invested—
at least in part—in both tapping and
contributing to the global stock of
knowledge. Tens of hundreds of millions
more people can learn, think and tackle
problems on a globally interconnected
network that can make their contribution
accessible anywhere in the world.
This process will redefine the relationship
between employers and employees,
bringing greater flexibility to both.
Employers gain access to a larger pool of
talent, which can vary depending on the
task at hand. Workers gain greater
entrepreneurial control over their skills
and talents. More people will choose to
work freelance, as consultants, or will be
changing jobs more frequently. Fast job
turnover is common in the high-tech
industry. It is the way that talented
workers learn, grow and advance more
quickly in a fast-paced environment. As
industry becomes faster, it will experience
the same.

Conclusions
The Future of Work is being shaped by a
profound transformation, driven by the
meshing of the digital and the physical
world, the emergence of new design and
production techniques, and a seismic shift
in the role that human beings play in the
production process. Most of these
changes have been underway for some
time, but they are now gaining speed and
scale in a way that will rapidly change the
face of industry as we know it.
The Industrial Internet is leveraging the
power of big data to create a new
generation of brilliant machines that are
predictive, reactive and able to
communicate seamlessly with each other
and with us. Advanced manufacturing
techniques like 3D printing are not only
yielding new products, but allowing a
faster feedback loop between design,
prototyping, production and customer
experience. They are triggering a data-
driven reorganization of the supply and
distribution networks that tie the individual
factory into its ecosystem of customers,
distributors and suppliers.
All this will result in the ability for the entire
production process to adjust in real time,
automatically, to unexpected
circumstances, guaranteeing “zero
unplanned downtime” at the production
system level. These changes in turn will
allow a faster move towards distributed
manufacturing, including through greater
reliance on micro-factories.
Technological progress will push a
growing share of the workforce toward
creativity and entrepreneurship, where
humans have a clear comparative
advantage over machines. The global
brain—the collective intelligence of human
beings across the globe integrated by
digital communication networks—will
grow bigger and more powerful as tens of
millions more people gain access to
education and to the Internet, becoming
able to both tap the global stock of
knowledge and contribute to it.
This transformation will take time to
unleash its full potential. It will require us
to invest in new technologies and adapt
organizations and managerial practices.
We will need a robust cyber security
approach to protect sensitive information
and intellectual property and safeguard
critical infrastructure from cyber-attacks.
The education system will have to evolve
to ensure that students are equipped with
the right skills for this fast-changing
economy. Continuous education and
retraining can cushion the impact of
inevitable transitional disruptions in the
labor market.
The Future of Work will require time and
investment, but it will reboot productivity
growth and economic activity. In
subsequent papers, we will explore in
greater detail the dynamics and
implications of this revolutionary
transformation. But it will reshuffle the
competitive landscape for both companies
and countries, and it will fundamentally
change—for the better—the way we work
and the way we live.
