One of the best things I’ve done in years is co-hosting Offsite industry roundtables on ZOOM, where factory owners and upper management meet to discuss mutual problems that we’re all facing. Starting in 2022, the response has been very good, which told us there should be more of them in 2023.
The DaVinci Offsite Construction Roundtables are hosted by Daniel (Danny) Small, MBA, LSSBB, known throughout the offsite industry for his hands-on approach to optimizing factory production.
Each Roundtable is totally interactive. There is no listening to someone drone on and on about what you should be doing in your factory. Instead, Daniel and I lay out each topic and help you interact with others so both the good ideas that have worked and what haven’t worked for you are shared with everyone in the cohort.
Hearing what others have done means you don’t have to pay for mistakes others have made or for hearing about their successes. You’ll also make new connections that you can turn to for advice or they can turn to you for help.
The four topics for the first half of 2023 are:
FEB. 9, 16, 23: Preparing for a Recession
MAR. 2, 9, 23: Strengthening the Supply Chain
APR. 6, 13, 20: Process Optimization
MAY. 11, 18, 25: Solving for Labor
Each roundtable consists of three 90-minute sessions. Daniel and I will pose questions about what you are currently doing about each topic and encourage the others to jump in and work together to find answers.
This is so rare in our industry.
Daniel and I welcome you to join one, two, or all four.
