Thanks for the comments, Julian. Although John or Chuck are not named directly, the UK Government announced its Industrial Digitalisation Review in January of this year, chaired by Juergen Maier, CEO of Siemens. Phil Smith (Cisco UKI Chairman) led the skills track.

The initial report was just published and can be found here: http://industrialdigitalisation.org.uk/

Phil is very involved in Innovate UK https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/innovate-uk, the UK's innovation agency, which has a number of chapters including manufacturing. Phil regularly speaks at Innovate events.
