To be competitive on both a national and a global scale, organizations must adopt a forward-thinking approach in developing their management strategies. Many of today’s top managers come from the ranks of the baby boomers, and will reach their 60s and 70s in the next five years and retire from the workforce, taking with them a wealth of knowledge. Automation could help ease the blow by improving competence and competitive advantage for the global marketplace.

But what exactly is an automated management system? What does it encompass, and how can it help companies to be competitive and sustainable? In this audio conference, our speaker outlines how automation of management systems online can help companies manage both risks and sustainability.

This audio conference covers:

• Preparing for the "grey tsunami"
• What is an automated management system?
• How does it assist a company in being competitive and sustainable in the global marketplace?
• How do international standards assist a company in managing its business?
• What does an international standard for management systems help a company to do?
