Performance Groups
Our performance groups consist of non-competing printing companies who
qualify for their position in the group via on-site evaluations and a desire
to perform. Once qualified, the group meets twice a year (September and
March) in Orlando, Florida. For the meeting, our staff prepares a complete
financial analysis on each company and a report on each company's most recent
evaluation is distributed to all.
Companies receive an evaluation rating based on the visitation evaluation.
Companies rated in the highest category must undergo additional evaluations
once every eighteen months. Companies rated in the second group are evaluated
yearly. Third and fourth category companies are rated every six months.
While the meetings have a strong component of reporting of performance and
sharing of experiences, there are a number of educational sessions as well.
Typically included are sessions on families in business together; finance;
sales; organization; data base marketing; quality management; supervision;
and other topics. In addition, performance goals are set and participants are
measured as to their accomplishment of their goals at the next meeting.
During the on-site visitations, much attention is paid to workers. Generally,
most are interviewed to obtain their input on changes needed. Also, owners
evaluate personnel and various personnel issues are addressed.
Performance Group participants also receive priority status for registration
at the 1996 Production Manager Conference to be held in June and the 1996
Sales Manager Conference to be held in August. Additionally, all group
participants will be invited to our annual owner's retreat scheduled for
January 1997 in Miami, Florida.
