What's Standing in the Way of Your Productivity?

Tue, Nov 2, 2021 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM

Jergens, Inc.

If you could have more productive meetings, how much more productive would your business be? Be honest. Are your meetings a frustrating waste of valuable time? Do you feel like you discuss the same issues over and over again never making any progress toward addressing them? Does your team take steps to finally address an issue only to discover that what you solved wasn't really the problem after all? If you answered yes to any of these questions, bring your team and one of your real-life business issues and we'll help you work through it with one of Traction's most important tools—IDS. This isn't a lecture about EOS. This IS a time for you and your team to work through one of your own issues with guidance from Manufacturing Works' own EOS Implementer. If you'd rather not share one of your issues, we'll offer some common issues shared by the local manufacturing community. Either way, the solution will be yours.
