WHAT WILL your in-plant look like 10 years from now? That question was offered for consideration on a popular in-plant listserv recently. Responses ranged from pessimistic (in-plants will be history) to hopeful (we will provide new and varied services), with some managers sharing tales of downsizing, and others of business growth. Overall, though, there was a sense of unease in the responses as managers tried to imagine their future roles in a digital world.
