The Power of Resilience in Business #businessresilience

It's, you know, first we had to find just to stop the bleeding because it was. It was really rough. So we had to make really, really deep cuts. You know, they say you got to cut to the bone. I think we cut into the bone. That's how major the cuts had to be. You know, we were running a 247 production facility. We had to go down to three, three days a week, one shift from 24 7. It was a big cut, and that was the only thing that enabled us to survive. Our advisory board was instrumental in that, help make the appropriate cuts, be able to get enough traction to, you know, keep the lights on, and then slowly rebuild from there. We were quite a bit of a secret in the industry, so we were a little bit of a captive vendor with large concentration. And we had to open up to the marketplace. We had to get certified in as 9100. We had to put the systems in place. We had to open up to the marketplace, and we accomplished all of those things. We use the crisis actually, when the production slowed down to put some of those things in place. So we were not just sitting there as a sitting duck.
