Creating a culture of change.
The objective of this presentation is to assist companies in creating a culture of change. In the 1970s our manufacturing companies pursued planning as the answer to competitive strength. Throughout the 1980s, we networked with suppliers and customers and smoothed the product flow. Now, in the 1990s, we are focused on the end customer to drive our programs to simplify the process to gain a competitive edge! Each of these answers was correct for its time. Stepping back from it all, however, we can see that the only lasting advantage is the underlying ability to adapt and change; to reinvent our companies again and again amid a rapidly changing, increasingly competitive environment.
