Called MAKE: AN AMERICAN MANUFACTURING MOVEMENT, a new strategy by the Council on Competitiveness, Washington, D.C., USA, maps how the U.S. can lead the world in 21st century advanced manufacturing that will be at the heart of our nation's long-term productivity and prosperity. Under the leadership of Council Chairman and Deere & Co. Chairman and CEO Samuel Allen and a steering committee of 60 CEOs, university presidents, labor leaders, and laboratory directors, MAKE will be released to Congress, the White House, and all 50 governors.
The recommendations are the result of hundreds of interviews conducted over nearly three years by Deloitte, as well as dozens of dialogues where Council members and national thought leaders came together to discuss specific manufacturing topics.
The Council on Competitiveness, a Washington, D.C.-based non-profit, non-partisan organization whose membership consists exclusively of corporate CEOs, presidents of universities, and heads of labor unions, is celebrating its 25th Anniversary and hosting its National Manufacturing Competitiveness Summit yesterday and today, December 7 - 8. The Council provides policy recommendations to make America more competitive in the international market place.
Media partners include U.S. News and World Report, IndustryWeek, Popular Science, Scientific American, Manufacturing Executive, and CNBC. The CNBC show Street Signs with Brian Sullivan will be filmed on-location to pose questions to c-suite speakers and guests. Adding to the list of participants will be panel moderators such as Robert J. Samuelson, Washington Post columnist; Rana Foroohar, assistant managing editor for Time Magazine; Brian Kelly, editor for U.S. News and World Report; Mark Jannot, editor-in-chief for Popular Science; and Patricia Panchak, IndustryWeek chief editor.
