The discussion will cover: 1. Our Culture - Everybody matters and how to create a Smart Tribe. During this time, I will focus on how we have created a culture in which everyone matters within the organization. How we have created Safety within our teams giving our associates the courage to speak freely and give ideas without fear. How we have given all associates a sense of belonging to something special and feeling like they matter every day. In its basic sense making decision in our business based on what is right for our team and holding true to be a people centric organization. It is not always easy to be people centric, but it is the right thing to do. How has this culture benefited us? 2. Our ERP System Journey - Three years back, we decided to implement a new ERP system; I look back on this as a defining moment in our history. We made the decision to scrap an ERP system that did not work for our business and put the work into implementation of a system that did work for our business. This is never easy or cheap, but we put a year and a half of work into it and went live in Plex! We went from running blind to so much data we didn't know how to focus. A few key areas that have helped shape us: A true ERP and PRP system that works! A quality management system that helped us move from reaction to prevention! Inventory Control, and real time data collection and reporting. From the information that we now have, we have leaders that can make much better decisions and drive our business forward!
