GE is embracing the China market with a strategic partnership that will allow for the rapid rollout of its digital solutions into the industrial heartland of China. Can they ramp up their talent needs in time to take advantage of the early move into this space in China?
GE says it is crucial for industrial firms to digitise their production lines to remain competitive at a time when productivity has fallen from 4 percent to 1 percent globally. The technology promises to connect machines and produce data that can be analysed, for example, to reduce carbon emissions, lower maintenance costs or improve safety.
