IPMA Goes Full Throttle in Milwaukee
The panel discussed how Web-to-print has made it easier for customers to work with their in-plants along with other efforts they have made to engage with customers. Wadell's operation at UC-Davis offers an InDesign class for beginners; Maxwell's in-plant hosts an appreciation breakfast for BYU customers and staff that brings up to 600 people into the shop; Werninger insists his customer service staff phone and visit customers frequently and get to know them personally; Hendrix shares the in-plant's successes and failures with employees during daily "huddles."
