Free Webinar on Sustainability and PLM

This webinar represents the kick-off for CIMdata’s Sustainability Research Initiative.

ANN ARBOR, Michigan, USA 26 October 2021—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces an upcoming free educational webinar, “Sustainability and PLM.” The webinar will occur on Monday, 15 November 2021, at 11:00 a.m. (EST) and will last for one hour.

The time of humans as the dominant species has been but a blip since the Big Bang. But human activity has had an outsized impact on the planet, particularly since the Industrial Revolution. The result of this impact is becoming all too clear, and it has turned sustainability from a “nice to have” corporate social responsibility to a global imperative. Sustainability is a systemic issue that demands a broad-based response. CIMdata believes that PLM strategies and enabling solutions have a big role to play in any company’s response, even if they are not manufacturers. CIMdata is initiating a global survey of industrial companies to look at their strategies, tactics, current status, and sustainability program plans to understand this topic better. This webinar sets the context for this research and kicks off the survey effort.

Attendees at this webinar will:

• Gain an understanding of the systemic impacts of sustainability issues on company strategy, tactics, and technologies.
• Learn about CIMdata’s planned research on sustainability and PLM and how you can participate.
• Be able to leverage the research findings to understand better how your company stacks up against your peers.

According to Stan Przybylinski, CIMdata’s Vice President and the host of this webinar, “Sustainability has gone from something often a part of a company’s broader corporate social responsibility program to a global imperative. It is a systemic issue that requires a system response from businesses in every industry. Our research will focus on how both industrial companies and their industrial clients are addressing this existential threat.”

This webinar will be helpful to product planners and managers, product portfolio managers, PLM team leaders, PLM team members, PLM users, product managers, IT leadership, solution providers, or anyone who wants to learn how PLM is essential for reaching sustainability objectives.

During the webinar, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions about the topics discussed. To find out more, visit: https://www.cimdata.com/en/events/event/652-sustainability-and-plm. To register for this webinar, please visit https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/1217699650745422859.
