Network members showcase provenperformance increases and achieve operational excellenceacross five categories: productivity, supply chain resilience,sustainability, customer centricity and talent. GLN is a WorldEconomic Forum initiative co-founded with McKinsey &Company and counselled by an advisory board of industryleaders, including Aramco, Foxconn Industrial Internet,Koç Holding, McKinsey & Company, Schneider Electricand Siemens.

The sameis true of industrial operations, where evolutionis ceaseless. To survive, let alone thrive, playersacross the value chain must find the courage, willand agility to adapt their operations amid ongoingchange – that is, torewire. contending with complex, capital-intensive assets– machines, materials and production lines – thatrequire considerable effort and precision to evolve.Unlike technology firms that move at the speedof software, industrial operators must master thecoupling of digital and physical at scale. That’s where Lighthouses come in. Since theinception of the Global Lighthouse Network eightyears ago, it has illuminated the path forward fortransformative operational rewiring. Lighthousesare unlocking more value from artifical intelligence(AI) than most of their peers and in ways thatstrengthen both human capability and systemperformance. With the Network now 224 membersstrong, its blueprint for scaling-up has never beenmore important. Such adaptation is no small feat, yet it has alwaysbeen the engine of progress. Each industrialrevolution was powered by transformativetechnology that demanded new ways of working.Adoption, often hard-won, unlocked the innovationsthat shaped each new era. But technology alonehas never been enough. It has always been peoplewho drive lasting transformation, with a willingnessto take risks, adapt, learn, reskill and collaborate. The Global Lighthouse Network remains true toits vision: to light the way forward towards a moreadaptive, human-centred and tech-empoweredfuture of operations. However, even with the most engaged workforce,industrial operations remain deeply physicalsystems. Transforming them at scale involves Executive summary This white paper celebrates eight yearsof GLN as the leading learning communityfor achieving world-class operationalperformance at scale. The Global Lighthouse Network (GLN) continuesto showcase leaders across the manufacturingand supply chain ecosystem making measurableimpacts on people, planet and performance.Having expanded from 16 f
