Most manufacturers believe autonomous production is only for new builds. It isn't. Your plant — the one already running, already staffed, already invested — is the starting point, not the obstacle. Dark Factory Chronicles is the show for manufacturing leaders navigating the in-between: past manual, not yet autonomous. Each episode brings you a step closer — through real technology, honest assessments, and the stories of plants that made the crossing before you. Jürgen Moors is your guide. Not a theorist — a digital intrapreneur who built it from the inside.

    Guardians of Manufacturing: Silence the power of NO !

    In large corporations, you typically find a lot of expertise and experts. But at the same time large organizations typically have a problem with keeping agile, staying competitive,... Bringing #innovation into a large company can be a really challenge. But that is exactly what #intrapreneurs do. On of the reasons why it is such a big problem or challenge are the experts. There are simply too many that block the innovation by saying NO. Not directly, but they will come up with all kinds of reasons why it is not allowed, why it can not work, why it simply can not be. The intrapreneur on the other hand has to continuously defend hem or herself against all these attacks and surges of negative energy. So here is an idea: why not turn the world upside down. Why not systemize or bureacratize the No-saying instead of the intrapreneurship ! It might make company a lot more dynamic but it definitely will make the work of the intrapreneur a lot easier.
