Henley launches new report setting out a path for responsible, sustainable, and human-centric leadership
A timely blueprint for organisations and leaders navigating industry 5.0.
Henley's World of Work Institute today announces its new report, Leadership Futures: Advancing into Industry 5.0 - a timely blueprint for organisations and leaders navigating the next industrial revolution.
As Industry 5.0 redefines the workplace, leaders are being challenged to rethink traditional models of leadership in favour of inclusive and sustainable frameworks that harness the potential of next-generation technologies and place human creativity at the forefront.
Presenting actionable insight from Henley’s expert academics, the report delves into the core dynamics of Industry 5.0, exploring how human-machine collaboration, ethical practices and sustainable strategies can shape a resilient and forward-looking approach to business.
From macroeconomic trends to emerging generational influences, the report outlines the strategies, skills and mindsets essential for leaders prepared to drive positive transformation.
Professor Keiichi Nakata, Director of AI & Automation at Henley’s World of Work Institute, said: "As we step into Industry 5.0, we’re embarking on a journey that calls for more than technological innovation; it requires a commitment to values that put people, purpose, and sustainability at the core of business. While Industry 4.0 focused on automation, Industry 5.0 shifts the focus to enhancing human potential, ensuring ethical decision-making, and fostering long-term resilience.
“The leaders who will thrive in this new era are those who balance productivity with a responsibility toward society and the environment, shaping a future where progress and human-centric values go hand in hand."
The report addresses key questions for organisations across sectors, including: How can leaders balance AI's power with a human-centred ethos? What strategies will engage and empower the values-driven Gen Z workforce? How can companies redefine value in an age of heightened corporate activism?
