June 9, 2021 - Moving from Chaotic, Reactive and Out-of-Control to Disciplined, Proactive and Fully-in-Control: Insights from Ed Hill of Synchronous Solutions

Ed Hill, owner of Synchronous Solutions, joined us to discuss his experience helping move countertop fabricators towards increased peace and productivity where they previously felt out-of-control.

He recognizes that, “Owners need a system by which business managers can operate the company to the standards of the owner, but without the need for daily involvement.”

In this webinar, he discuss common obstacles he sees when fabricators attempt to make key changes and important mindset shifts necessary to move forward.
