Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – The Offset & Beyond conference offered members of the print world a chance to mingle and discuss common problems, solutions, and what the future holds for the industry.
While printers continue to deal with the rippling of an unsettling economy, a printer making a profit is still incredibly feasible. There are a few key ideas that were discussed during Michael Murphy’s “Print Executive Outlook” session:
– Leaders, with drive, cunning, and convictions are needed to steer the company into the profitable future.
– Backing up that leader must be a team of enthusiastic “A” players. No room for “C” players.
– Focus on process improvement through Lean and Computer Integrated Manufacturing that creates a workplace of clarity and focus.
On hand as living proof that leadership and a strong team works was D. Michael Abrashoff, former Navy commander and author of It’s Your Ship. D. Michael Abrashoff told the inspiring story of how the USS Benfold was transformed into one of the greatest ships in the Navy by empowering the crew to take ownership and improve every aspect of the way things were done.
