More than 100 Managers Attend IPMA 2009
Panelist Peter Muir, president of Bizucate, implored in-plants not to merely wait for work to come, nor even to simply look for work but to create opportunities.
“Only a few create,” he noted.
Working with the marketing department is crucial, Madison said, though sometimes marketing barely notices the in-plant. To change that, panelist Marlene Williams, vice president of Light Production/Mid-Low EPC Line of Business at Xerox, suggested taking some of marketing’s applications and redesigning them to show off the in-plant’s talents. Added Muir: “Show them something they haven’t seen before.”
