Lunch & Learn - Optimizing your Organization's Performance

Businesses run much like a system of gears. The success of the entire system depends on each gear working together in synchronized alignment. When a gear is out of sync, you will have “pain points,” resulting in company-wide misalignment which will prevent you from achieving your overall strategy. The Five-Part Gear Model helps us diagnose and fix the pain points so your company can run smoothly.

Join Manufacturer’s Edge for an introduction to this simple, but powerful tool that we recently developed to address each individual gear and ensure synchronization and alignment to an organization’s overall strategy in order to achieve lasting success.
