When you think about driving change and improvements in your department or organization, what comes to mind first? Are you thinking of emotions like fear, uncertainty, optimism, or pessimism?
Or do you think more along the lines of steps in a process, like identifying an area for improvement, getting consensus on priorities, building a plan, assigning responsibilities, and measuring success?
There’s no right or wrong answer. All of this is an important part of the process. The key for many is consistency.
We often need a catalyst or a “fire starter” to turn the big flywheel of change.
Breakthrough meetings are just that — a catalyst.
What Is a Breakthrough Meeting?
Breakthrough meetings are in-depth conversations about your business, expectations, and audience.
In these meetings, we discover ways to elevate your business to the next level, considering your current challenges, where you want to be for the rest of the year or next year, and areas for improvement.
We work together ON the business, not IN it. In other words, we work as partners, not vendors.
Why Scheduling a Breakthrough Meeting Makes Sense
Over the years, you’ve made big investments in 3D CAD, PDM, ERP/MRP, PLM, and other business systems.
These investments are great, but are they optimized? Are they integrated? Have your teams mastered the tools? Or is there room for improvement? Yes, these are loaded questions to consider if you aren’t already thinking about them.
Breakthrough meetings with experts or an account manager will help focus your business goals and objectives into actionable steps. Those loaded questions will be easier to answer. You will also be able to expect more and get more from your software and systems.
What We’ll Discuss in the Breakthrough Meeting
As Wayne Gretzky puts it, “I skate to where the puck will be, not where it’s been.” We spend virtually all of our time chasing the puck where it lies today and nearly no time talking about where the puck will be — or where we want it to be.
Let’s change that.
The shift starts with a purposeful conversation about your 12-36-month goals and objectives.
In breakthrough meetings at Hawk Ridge Systems, we can better understand your needs and how we can best provide you with continual support.
What are you driving towards? Do you want to increase sales? Do you want to lower engineering costs? More R&D? Going paperless or drawingless? What’s your additive strategy? How about your cloud strategy?
We support our customers beyond the initial setup and installation and go above the traditional 90-day plan. We provide licensing, technical support, and training all year round.
So, let’s talk about your plans, how you want to get there, and what we can do to help you as your partners.
As a Chinese proverb states, “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”
