Panel Title: Innovation 5.0: AI-Driven Disruption and the New Frontiers of Quality, Supply Chain, and Organizational Excellence

Panel Description:

As we move beyond Industry 4.0 into the era of Innovation 5.0, organizations are being challenged to integrate advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and autonomous systems not just for efficiency—but for resilience, ethics, and impact.

This panel brings together leaders from across sectors to explore how AI is transforming supply chains, quality systems, and excellence frameworks in both public and private domains. We’ll discuss real-world examples, critical risks, and forward-thinking strategies to ensure that innovation enhances—not disrupts—performance, trust, and long-term value creation.

Key themes include:

  • How AI is reshaping quality and compliance expectations
  • Intelligent supply chain ecosystems and risk-aware decision-making
  • Innovation 5.0 as a values-based, human-centered evolution
  • New KPIs and performance models for continuous improvement
  • Governance, ethics, and leadership in AI-fueled transformation

Whether you're in operations, policy, innovation, or quality leadership, this is your roadmap to thriving in a rapidly changing world.

This is a Joint Panel Discussion across ASQ Government, Innovation, and Statistics Divisions.
