And you’re always dealing with proven resources that they’ve used in other projects, so there’s a high likelihood of success."

Manufacturing Leadership Institute (MLI):
According to industry focus groups conducted by MRC, most small and mid-sized manufacturers lack the internal expertise to develop a new strategic game plan for their company’s future. They noted that it was key for the current and future leaders to be knowledgeable on how to introduce new products, innovations, technologies, and to develop the next layer of leadership for the company’s future growth.

MLI topical areas being considered include:
	Conducting a leadership assessment of the individual and corporate team
	Improving leadership characteristics to mesh with your growth strategies
	Gaining market and industry intelligence to grow your operation and bottom line
	Assessing the current corporate value and evaluating metrics for growth
	Determining the keys to innovation and new product development
	Visioning and communicating
	Feeding the organization structure-when to provide coaching or leadership
	Positioning your company for a profitable future, planning succession, and transferring knowledge

MRC’s goal is to provide immediate value to your company and you, and the MLI benefits include:
	Understanding your marketplace, competitive forces, and how current tools and technologies can move your company forward to fulfill its vision
	Thinking outside the norm with experts that know how to grow a company
	Growing prospective or current leaders with strategies that take a company to the next level
	Staying strong to outwit your global competition
	Experiencing a unique focus on ways leaders can transform their company and themselves to thrive in a highly competitive, global atmosphere
