By Howie Fenton, Rochester Software Associates: Part 2 of Our Embrace Change and Accelerate Your Response Series
In our last blog, we introduced the idea that the pace of change has accelerated after the pandemic, and the importance of accelerating your response to changes has increased. We discussed the book Who Moved My Cheese and presented evidence of a possible resurgence of the management trend for outsourcing. We discussed the first step of making changes as an analysis of your situation called a current state analysis which focuses on print applications. This blog will discuss the recruiting, software, hardware, and financing resources you will need to support your strategic plan.

A great deal of information is available that will help in the creation of these brochures. Believe it or not, some in-plant print centers offer high salaries or signing bonuses.
