Welcome to the CAMPS Manufacturing AI Leadership Roadmap
Each module builds upon the previous one. Together, they create a practical roadmap for implementing AI in manufacturing and generating measurable compounding business results. (Each title is a link to the learning module).
Overview of Learning Modules
1. Start with Company Value, Not Technology
Question: What business outcomes are you trying to improve?
Learn how high-performing manufacturers identify AI opportunities by focusing on value creation first.
2. Invest in People and Culture First
Question: Is your workforce ready to adopt AI?
Discover how to create trust, engagement, and capability across the organization.
3. Turn Existing Data into Insight
Question: What is your factory already trying to tell you?
Learn how to uncover opportunities hidden inside the data you already have.
4. Build Shared Visibility Around the Four Operating Levers
Question: Does everyone see the same reality?
Create dashboards and visual management systems that align decision-making.
5. Create a Regular Review Rhythm
Question: How often do insights become action?
Establish management routines that turn information into results.
6. Improve the System Continuously
Question: How do you keep improving after implementation?
Create a self-reinforcing AI operating flywheel that gets stronger over time.
What You Will Gain
After completing the AI Accelerator, participants will be able to:
- Identify high-value AI opportunities
- Align AI initiatives with business objectives
- Build workforce readiness and engagement
- Turn operational data into actionable insights
- Create management systems that sustain improvement
- Establish a repeatable framework for AI-driven performance
Note: This is leadership perspective, not technical training.
CAMPS created the AI Leadership Roadmap to help manufacturing leaders understand the business value of AI and make better decisions about where to begin. The program is designed to help leaders think clearly about company value, people, culture, data, visibility, and continuous improvement.
CAMPS does not replace technical trainers, colleges, consultants, or implementation partners. Instead, we help manufacturers become better prepared to work with them.
Learn your way:
Each module shares the same core message through video, infographic, podcast, and blog post formats. Choose the format that works best for you, then complete the AI-assisted assignment at the end to apply the ideas to your business.
Acknowledgments
The AI Roadmap was inspired by presentations shared by Simon Floyd of Microsoft at CAMPS events and by the practical manufacturing AI demonstrations of Craig Hanela, CEO of The Brivik Group.
Their insights and conversations helped shape the concepts, framework, and real-world applications presented throughout the CAMPS Manufacturing AI Accelerator.
