Innovation is no longer optional. When your "job shop" services or the products you manufacture are Meaningfully Unique - EMPLOYEES are proud and motivated, MANAGEMENT is optimistic and everyone MAKES MORE MONEY.
In today's world, "If you're not Meaningfully Unique you better be cheaper." And Meaningful Uniqueness is far more profitable. A Georgia Tech Study found that companies who focus on innovation make twice as much money as those focused on low cost. And, on average, employees are paid 60% more too!
