As we printers all know, Michael, was here last month to help Printing Industries of Wisconsin celebrate our 75th Anniversary. Prior to the open house, Michael spoke to the member leadership regarding our future.
While he did not paint a rosy picture for everyone, there were some positives for those who were forward looking and Profit Leaders. Digital Print played a prominent part, as did our changing role of content providers. Certainly there are threats, but in them opportunities as well.
It was very interesting to me to hear him say, as he discussed forging our future, that planning was one of our collective weakest areas. From what I see day to day, I would agree, but after all, I'm a consultant & you might expect that. Still, Joe Lyman, Judi Wolters, and I had already agreed to put on a seminar on Planning in February. Fortuitous timing.
Later on, at the open house, I spoke with Michael about the upcoming seminar, and he was pleased, which was gratifying to hear.
Mark your calendars for February 17th.
In this interactive session, we will discuss several types of planning: informal, Strategic, Tactical, Operational, & Scenario. Resource availability, along with plenty of information & handouts will be provided. The goal is to stimulate creative ideas you can take back to your organization to foster growth & profitability.
Watch for another announcement to come from PIW next week. As always, feel free to contact me if you have further questions.
See you there!
