Pivot Assessment, Training and Coaching (PATCH)

A 6-step program focused uniquely on your business and what you need to pivot successfully. Expert PATCH coaches will help you assess your capabilities, identify what market opportunities are strongest for you, develop an action plan, train your organization on new workflows and procedures, and implement a system to stay agile for future changes.

Why this matters

Manufacturers need to innovate and adapt to ever-changing environmental and economic impacts.

It is taxing and scary when your product or service is no longer in high demand. There are still opportunities to keep the lights on and continue to provide for our community, customers, and employees with less demand.

Identify opportunities to pivot production to a new product to maintain profitability and keep your company flourishing in new markets.

With a combination of classroom and hands-on application, the PATCH program effectively teaches:

 

  • What markets are the strongest for you to move into
  • How to assess your company’s capabilities for new markets
  • Which machines have future value beyond pivoting
  • Working with the latest equipment
  • Creating a work instruction for the new procedure
  • Design a Forecast and Adapt System to prepare for future changes to the system

Adapt or Die

Pivoting your company to new products can help to:

  • Create new opportunities for growth
  • Retain Employees
  • Increase Revenue
  • Bring in new technology to future-proof your company
  • Help your community
  • Enter new markets
