Industry 5.0: How Danone Is Driving Transformation Via Strategic Upskilling | Diary of a CHRO Ep28

Beata Sawicka is the Head of Industry 5.0 Academy at Danone, leading a global initiative to empower employees to thrive in the era of human-machine collaboration. She shares how Danone is leading operational transformation by digitally upskilling its workforce. This approach is helping factories — and the broader organization — enhance performance, drive growth, and increase flexibility, ultimately strengthening supply chain resilience and advancing toward Industry 5.0. To make this possible, Danone recognizes that upskilling, reskilling, and effective change management across the entire manufacturing community are essential. She will also be a speaker at the People Experience Conference in Lisbon on 17 April 2026. Meet Beata Sawicka!
