Reverse Mentoring the Editing Edge in Management 4.0

Abstract

Industry 4.0 is based on the implementation of a cyber-physical system, which includes sensors, networks, computers, offering digital enhancement and well-coordinated activities. This would create a great pool of all the workforce generations, having diverse experience, agility, and different modes of working. Millennials would add more of machine learning and Generation X and Y would be the richest source of tacit and operational knowledge. Together, they would develop solutions for catering complex and networked production and aggressive logistic management, meeting the challenges of the Industry 4.0. However, the benefits of digitization and automation can be achieved, if the different generations of workforce collaborate, cooperate, and postulate together in all the business processes. Reverse mentoring is a pristine concept and ingenious method to empower learning and encourage cross-generational connections. This chapter would elaborate on the advantage of reverse mentoring in crafting Industry 4.0 more acrobatic and quick-moving.
