GIST Training Unit 3: Bionic Transformation Management

Traditionally viewed as a sector that relies on handcrafted and manufacturing processes, in the last years, the furniture industry has been embracing new technologies. Thus furniture companies have to keep up with the increasing technological transformation – a challenging task for organisations and requiring personnel with skills they never had before.

Under this context, GIST strengthens those key skills and competences by developing a novel training e-course to achieve the basic competences for SMEs to reach the status of bionic enterprise.
