The Industrial Productivity Crisis

After nearly two decades of decline, industrial productivity finally saw a 22% surge in 2021-2022. Unfortunately, we've now given back over half of those gains.

2025 is the year leaders must reverse the trend through new capital investments, evolved operating models, and redesigned supply networks.
