Being on the Same Ship With Stakeholders: Industry 5.0

Abstract

Digital technologies are changing rapidly and parallel to this, the reflection of these changes is tried to be moved to the education field as well. However, it is not easy to directly observe these changes in education. This chapter focuses on developing new-age educational leaders and leadership with respect to Industry 5.0 in order to help facilitate these changes in educational environments. This chapter will start by providing brief information about the previous industrial era and then continue with explaining the underpinnings and components of Industry 5.0, its sustainable, human-centric, and resilient nature. Although Industry 5.0 is surrounded by a fast process of technology and digital transformation, the human touch is an undeniable requirement during this process and transformation. Therefore, history of industrial revolutions, reflections on daily life, new-age leadership and digital transformation, and emergence of new professions and skills will be the main topic of interest in this chapter. The chapter will end by recommending how we can make best use of Industry 5.0 and how we can develop new-age educational leaders. © 2023 Peter Lang Group AG. All rights reserved.
