Leading the Human-Centric Revolution: Change Management Strategies for Industry 5.0 Implementation in Smart Manufacturing

The manufacturing sector stands at a critical juncture as it transitions from Industry 4.0's automation-focused approach to Industry 5.0's human-centric paradigm. With projections indicating a labor shortage of 2 million workers in the next decade and only 29% of the millennial workforce reporting active engagement, manufacturing leaders need help managing this transformation while maintaining operational excellence.

This presentation will share how smart manufacturing facilities successfully implement Industry 5.0 technologies while enhancing workforce engagement. The research applies Self-Determination Theory (SDT) as a theoretical framework, investigating how organizations can support employees' needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness during technological transformation. This approach helps bridge the gap between technological implementation and human factors, offering practical insights for manufacturing leaders navigating the Industry 5.0 transition.

Session participants will:
- Examine real-world examples of successful human-centric technology implementation strategies
- Explore practical applications of Self-Determination Theory in manufacturing environments
- Participate in interactive discussions about common implementation challenges and solutions
- Receive a framework for assessing their organization's readiness for human-centric manufacturing

The presentation will engage audience members through interactive polling, small group discussions, and case study analyses. Manufacturing leaders will leave with actionable strategies for supporting employee engagement during technological transformation.
