Manufacturers Only Peer Groups
How it Works
On a micro level, members participate in a group of 8-10 well-matched business leaders who meet for two hours every other month and operate as a board of advisors for each other.
On a macro level, collaboration among manufacturers throughout Connecticut affords members many more introductions, ideas and opportunities.
Our Members Speak to the Value
"My Peer Group is short money; a good investment for short and long term results.
My group affords me an important monthly opportunity to learn from my manufacturing peers’ experience in their respective businesses. With our group I get a chance to both share my solutions and hear from colleagues on their solutions. I can bring both small and outsized challenges to the group for their insights and feedback. Getting candid feedback from a group of smart manufacturing professionals is invaluable.”
Dan Shedd, Owner Taylor Box CompanyThe President of a manufacturing company asked two very good questions about his participating in a Manufacturers Only Peer to Peer Group.
Here are the questions and answers.
Am I a better President / Business Leader from my participation in a Manufacturers Only Peer to Peer group?
Yes for two reasons. One, you have a confidential forum to ask the questions you probably can’t ask of anyone inside your company. Two, you’re asking 8-10 people who understand all of the nuances and implications of your questions because they sit in the same chair as you. Their input and answers emanate from experience and expertise that is almost 100% on point because their companies are of the same size and their challenges are very similar if not identical to the ones you face.
Is it worth the cost, both in terms of time and money?
Yes, for many of the same reasons cited for the first question. However, the best testament to participating are the comments from current participants. Please reference the Member Reviews from your peers about their experiences and results from participating in a Manufacturers Only Peer to Peer group.
