Not the State Printer You Used to Know
Self Assessment
When Devis arrived in the fall of 2006, fresh from four years as director of Oregon State University Printing & Mailing Services, he knew that change wouldn’t come easily to this large, established in-plant. So he proceeded carefully and methodically.
He and his management team conducted a SWOT analysis, examining the operation’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. The first step was to meet personally with each employee, asking them all the same four questions:
- Companies:
- Canon U.S.A.
- Heidelberg
- Komori America
