I want to know who has the cooler job here. Great to be here.ĭiane Brady: You are both on the front lines. Enno de Boer is the global head of manufacturing out of New York, where he’s worked with partners like the World Economic Forum on the future of production and the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Michael Chui is a San Francisco–based partner at the McKinsey Global Institute, where he leads research on the impact of technology on business and society. Joining me today are two McKinsey leaders who spend a lot of time on the front lines of transformative technologies.

Today we’re focusing on the impact it’s already having on manufacturing, from the supply chain to how we run our factories, and, more importantly, that there are many times where we don’t actually need 5G to get this done. What it delivers is an astonishing level of connectivity that will transform every industry. It is, of course, the much anticipated 5G, or fifth-generation wireless technology. Today we’re talking about the fuel that is powering the Fourth Industrial Revolution. An edited transcript of their conversation follows.ĭiane Brady: Hello, and welcome to the McKinsey Podcast. I’m Diane Brady.
