Simulation for Manufacturers

A major European manufacturers association invited us to facilitate their 5-yearly joint strategy meetings. There were challenging issues that had to be addressed: growing competition from Eastern Europe and the Far East and increased pressure on environmental standards from lobby groups and both national and European parliaments. We helped the Chief Executives of 10 major companies build the resource picture of their industry, which allowed them to see as a whole how the climate was changing and where their collective action could change things for the common good. Each individual could see the collective view and air interest in a rational and fact-based manner, which proved a highly successful basis for planning priorities and funding for joint action for the following five years.
