IN COLLABORATION WITH

Global Lighthouse Network: Shaping the Next Chapter of the Fourth Industrial Revolution

JANUARY 2023

** EXECUTIVE SUMMARY **
Since 2018, the Global Lighthouse Network, a collaboration between the World Economic Forum and McKinsey & Company, has identified 132 manufacturing sites (13 sustainability-focused) leading Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) innovation. These sites have deployed over 142 use cases, achieving significant improvements in productivity (e.g., 30–400% productivity increases), sustainability (e.g., 5–100% energy reductions), and resilience. Key challenges include scaling beyond pilot environments, with lighthouses demonstrating a clear advantage in workforce engagement, strategy, and execution.

** STRATEGIC PRIORITIES **
Productivity, sustainability, and resilience rank as the top three strategic priorities across industries. Lighthouses emphasize workforce engagement and transformation offices as critical enablers, achieving 50% higher scaling efficiency than non-lighthouses. Non-lighthouses often overemphasize agile approaches but neglect the foundational role of human-centric strategy.

** SCALING CHALLENGES AND WAYPOINTS **

• Awareness Gap: Lighthouses recognize strategy as a primary obstacle (30% name it), while 70% of non-lighthouses do not.
• Waypoints for Followers: Smart follower strategies leverage lighthouse successes (e.g., Midea’s network-wide governance, Cipla’s agile squads) to accelerate scaling.
• Key Recommendations: Invest in clear strategy, people-centric execution, and robust governance to achieve impactful 4IR scaling across production networks and beyond.

** JOIN THE NETWORK **
The Global Lighthouse Network invites manufacturers to contribute to the next chapter of 4IR innovation through structured collaboration and learnings.
