Grow Your Company through Technology Innovation, Market Diversification and New Product Development
|
Manufacturer's Edge First Friday webinar to be held on Friday, April 7
|
What is the difference between ordinary and extraordinary manufacturers? The little extra, in this case, is a commitment to proactively seeking growth. When you're operating a business, your primary focus is addressing your daily tasks... meeting orders on time, working with suppliers, etc. This is understandable - it can be challenging to add something new to the mix, such as workforce development or exporting initiatives.
Rising above this challenge, however, and proactively growing your company through technology innovation, market diversification and new product development is what brings your business to the next level. A strong commitment to growth transforms ordinary companies into extraordinary organizations, enabling manufacturers to achieve improvements in sales, cost reduction and profitability.
In this webinar, John Blignaut of Manufacturer's Edge will explore these challenges and discuss two approaches that will help. Technology Scouting is used when a company needs a technology to improve a process or develop a new product, but doesn't quite know where to find it. Technology Driven Market Intelligence (TDMI) is used when a company has a technology or product and wants to expand and diversify into new markets. Technology Scouting and TDMI are two powerful tools essential to helping you strengthen and grow your business.
