Welcome to the Let’s Chat manufacturing video interview series from ThoughtFocus.
In this series of video interviews, we feature inspiring and short video interviews with industry leaders. This interview series exists for one purpose: to deliver insights to help you scale your business.
In our most recent series of interviews, we spoke with Prashanth Sharma, Chief Technology Officer at ThoughtFocus, about strategies and experiences that are driving manufacturers forward.
We also spoke with Rachel Rouse, Director of Application Development at ThoughtFocus, about women in manufacturing, and balancing work-from-home demands with five children.
In Episode 1, Prashanth talked about new trends in manufacturing – and the benefit of hindsight on the pandemic as manufacturers evaluated three big options:
- Ride it out
- Hit the accelerator
- Hit the brakes

In Episode 2, we addressed the technical skills gap in manufacturing and some of the ways executives are finding talent during a pandemic.
