Leading Manufacturing Companies – Rolls-Royce
As a leading industrial technology company, Rolls-Royce will focus on technology to win and influence the market in the year 2018.
“We will deliver early stages of our electrical strategy and demonstrate product and system capabilities,” says Jayaraman.
Additionally, Rolls-Royce has been focussing on accelerating their digital-first strategy. The aerospace major is following a defined method to achieve this. Their three-strand digital strategy (perfect digital twin, accelerate & amplify data innovation and digital first) transforms the way they have been operating to deliver and unlock more value at a faster pace for customers.
What this means is that they will grow their data innovation capabilities, enabled by tangible value improvements in their product, production and performance digital twins.
“Continuous learning is a requirement now, as you face new challenges and opportunities, and it cannot be done solely in a classroom. I am a firm believer in having a growth mindset – it’s important to remind yourself that it’s alright to fail if you learn from your failures,” Jayaraman proclaims.
When asked about some of the new learnings that he is gathering as head of the organisation, Jayaraman is clear in his reply. There are many ways to learn new skills and strategies for managing and leading your team and the most common way is reading, he states, adding that whether it’s great blogs or books, the written word is a powerful way to convey the lessons and insights crucial to leadership.
