Manufacturing; Understand What You're Up Against...

Understand What You're Up Against...

Part #1
Manufacturing; Big Boys, Small Boys and Somewhere in-Between

If I told you that I feel like most manufacturing businesses in the United States was going backwards until it stops again, circa 1800's, would you understand?

Technological advances are required for the most part to manage the business' financial package; and in larger companies, it's customer relations management applications and processes which is supposed to reinvent the way many businesses do business. The fact that business must change, says a lot about what is happening elsewhere, here, and all around a business.

Without any fore-warning, we have no one to blame for slow expansion but ourselves. You remember the ridicule each of you met when you found out that you were the cause of perpetuating the continuing practice of 'stove-pipe' or 'silo management' within your businesses.

You did not know that you could be wiser, but the very fact that you hindered your own companies growth is momentus.

We in the business are up against changing methods that threaten traditional manufacturing relations and ways of doing business. For instance, I know that within each one of us, there is a comfort zone and we-at this point, are threatened and terrified, because of change.

Change in this case, is not good but worthy of your introspection, and full attention. Without your energy and understanding, we all risk the chance that change will close your business and all of our jobs.

Why am I so sure of this direction that change has been charging straight for your doorway?

First of all-if you don't or can't understand what you're up against, we'll have to continue this discussion, when you are past denial, willing to clear your head for a moment, to 'see' what 'we' 'see', which you don't see or refuse to admit to yourself that possibly there could be a better way to think about expansion, that you are just not getting.

We really have much in common...Ready?!
