In the <strong>interview with Achim Roesner<\/strong>, a recognized industry expert speaks openly about the sector\u2019s strengths, its blind spots and the course corrections that are now necessary in mechanical engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Achim Roesner supports companies in making their organizations more efficient, clearer and fit for the future. The discussion also covers <strong>digitalization in mechanical engineering<\/strong>, the right way to deal with complexity, and the role of <strong>Industry 4.0<\/strong> and <strong>artificial
