| October 14, 2008 |  View for printing |
Three simple but core questions for manufacturers and allies set the tone for the sixth biennial Compete Smart manufacturing conference held in Missoula in early October.
The 2008 conference focused on innovation and growth and featured keynote speaker Doug Hall, founder of Eureka! Ranch, considered the nation's number one growth expert by Inc. Magazine and other business publications.
Hall began and ended his presentation by asking the crowd of 288 people from across Montana,
"Have your profit margins grown in the last five to ten years?
If you lost your number one customer, would you survive?
And are you having fun (doing what you do)?"
