WorkPlan for Success offers printers tools to handle business issues
tools for handling a broad spectrum of industry business issues. Built upon the proven best practices
revealed through NAPL’s industry- vanguard Management Plus System, WorkPlan for Success is a robust offering with extensive and inclusive guidelines, step-by-step instructions, and applications
to help company
managers and executives implement the most effective policies in every
area of graphic communications com- pany management—from strategic planning and finance to sales and customer service. “We’ve taken our Management Plus
knowledge, our NAPL Research Cen- ter studies, and the field experience of our Business Advisory Team members and combined them into a program that not only informs our members about what they can do to achieve greater
profitability, but
them
shows how
to do it and gives them the tools for doing so in their own compan y right now,” says Joseph P. Truncale, NAPL president and CEO. Best practices framework “Our Management Plus program provides a framework of business best practices specific to our industry and our mem- bers,” says NAPL senior VP William F. Woods Jr. “With WorkPlan for Suc- cess we have turned this knowledge into a living, hands-on program that our members can access and apply themselves whenever they want to, and more importantly, when they need to.” Adds Woods, “Each of the program’s
six sections begins with a short narra- tive on the business objective or best practice, followed by specific exercis- es, worksheets, tables, and charts that enable the user to put the concept into use. It’s not presented in a textbook format, and much of it is available in template form so that it can be tweaked to fit any company’s particular struc- ture and specific needs.”
Do-it-yourself tool WorkPlan for Success has been designed as a ‘do-it-yourself’ tool for NAPL’s corporate member com- panies, which is helping them get the maximum return from it by presenting a series of free webinars on various sections of the program, demonstrat- ing different concepts, and walking them through some of the exercises or worksheets.
“The webinars let members interact with the program and ask questions of NAPL experts who can show them its application to their specific situa- tion,” says Woods. “And, of course, our NAPL Business Advisory Team members are always available for addi- tional assistance.” Comments Truncale, “WorkPlan for Success will ultimately comprise more than a thousand pages of rel- evant, industry-specific management material that is easy to access and navigate, And as more content is created or new industry directions evolve, new chapters will be added or adjusted to meet members’ changing needs. We believe this new program is a dynamic and robust enhancement to the already substantial benefits of NAPL membership.” Visit the NAPL Booth 2261 to view a demonstration of this new member- exclusive program.
