Focus On Talent Is Critical Going Forward Consistently identified as the top driver of manufacturing competitiveness, talent is a significant pain point, specifically for advanced technology companies The aging of engineering and manufacturing workforces, without appropriate knowledge transfer, is exacerbating a skills shortage not only in the US but also in other developed and developing nations - Executive Interviewee US retains a leadership position in research, technology and innovation having created a strong foundation over the last century that includes an educational system that fosters creative thinking, superior talent, and world-class universities but, the R&D competitiveness gap is narrowing rapidly as countries like China have been aggressive in attracting and nurturing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) talent resulting in a significant challenge in the form of a talent shortage and widening skills gap over the next decade 10 Deloitte and US Council on Competitiveness I 2016 Global Manufacturing Competitiveness Index Copyright 2015 Deloitte Development LLC.

Challenges, Sure But, Also Opportunities A host of issues face US manufacturing companies looking to spur growth through innovation going forward, the question is how to capitalize while avoiding pitfalls Challenges Challenges faced by US companies include: a significant talent shortage and widening skills gap uneven and weak foreign market conditions and business environments coping with weak Intellectual Property (IP) laws and behavior globally the high cost and complexity of compliance in an uncertain US regulatory environment Opportunities Long-term global trends that will help provide opportunities for US companies to spur growth and innovation, include: an expanding middle class and rapid urbanization across Asia continued and plentiful low cost energy in North America attractive demographics across North America increased global demand for commercial aircraft the rapid technological advances in the auto industry (e.g., autonomous vehicles) increased output in the US chemicals and industrial machinery sectors 11 Deloitte and US Council on Competitiveness I 2016 Global Manufacturing Competitiveness Index Copyright 2015 Deloitte Development LLC.

Industry Innovation Playbook In order to grow and succeed in the highly competitive global innovation space, companies can follow some overarching themes for strategy development 1. Think like a venture capitalist and take best practices from successful start-ups 2. Take a portfolio approach to innovation projects and investments 3. Adopt a risk-tolerant mentality to allow some of the higher risk, higher reward efforts to proceed 4. Operate outside of traditional walls to take advantage of collaboration opportunities 5. Understand there is no singular solution or path to achieve innovation success 6. Have a strategic focus regarding resource allocation, alignment and activities as well as incentives 7. Be explicit about innovation ambitions and goals and organize accordingly 8. Perseverance pays: Fear of failure or failure to bounce back when met with failure will relegate an organization to a role as followers 9. Look beyond product innovation to transform other elements of your business system. 10. Diagnose your capabilities and be realistic about them; address as required 12 Deloitte and US Council on Competitiveness I 2016 Global Manufacturing Competitiveness Index Copyright 2015 Deloitte Development LLC.
