Countering China through Business Model Innovation
The American manufacturing sector is likely to face more significant challenges in the next five years than at any other time since WWII. Low-price international competitors, the consumer credit crunch and general slowdown of the US economy all pose threats to manufacturers across the nation. Nowhere, however, are those threats as immediate as in Los Angeles County. The American West Coast is ground zero for Asian importers and customers in Southern Californian are among the most fickle in the nation; with skyrocketing gasoline prices and an inflated real estate market they cannot afford not to be. There will, however, be many opportunities for agile businesses to grow and succeed in spite of the turbulent economic environment. Nimble, well-run manufacturers, if they orient themselves in the correct strategic direction, should find 2008 to be a year of incredible opportunity.
“Countering China through Business Model Innovation”
Learn the key methods for aligning your business model with the changing world environment. Learn to keep your company running lean, on-target and on-time. We’ll show you how to select and evaluate Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) with a specific eye on out-competing discount imports using a “Low-Cost not Low-Price” strategy. The seminar will be presented by cpSphere Los Angeles’ Senior Business Consultants and should last no longer than two hours. cpSphere has a five year history of working with the manufacturing sector in Southern California and last year delivered an average of 20% growth for its portfolio of manufacturing clients.
