COURSE OVERVIEW:

The dual challenge of modern maintenance is managing people and technology simultaneously. This course provides a strategic fusion of "Soft Leadership Skills" and "Hard Technical Innovation," designed for leaders who must guide their teams through the digital transformation of the industrial landscape. It focuses on the transition from a traditional "Command and Control" supervisor to a "Digital Enabler" who leverages data to empower their workforce.

The scope of this training involves the exploration of Industry 4.0 technologies—such as IIoT, AI, and AR—within the context of organizational change management. Participants will learn how to build a high-performing maintenance culture that embraces technology as a tool for safety and efficiency, rather than a threat to job security. The curriculum emphasizes the development of "Emotional Intelligence" (EQ) alongside "Digital Intelligence" (DQ), ensuring that leaders can inspire their teams while making complex technical decisions.

Coverage includes the principles of "Strategic Thinking," the management of "Digital Natives" vs. "Legacy Workers," and the selection of technology platforms that align with business goals. Attendees will explore how to lead "Remote Teams" and "Collaborative Robots" while maintaining a focus on core reliability principles. By the end of this course, participants will be able to design a technology roadmap for their department and lead their people through the cultural shift required to thrive in a connected, data-driven maintenance environment.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Define the role of the "Maintenance Leader 4.0" in the digital age.
• Balance technical innovation with human-centric leadership.
• Implement a "Change Management" strategy for new maintenance technologies.
