    How many business proprietors can afford to take a working day off and travel all the way to the Cabrits Resort and Spa Kempinski. We need initiatives but is a panel discussion, no matter how luxurious the venue, the best way of tackling the problem.

      If you are looking to increase your knowledge, strengthen your strategic focus and hear from experts on how to introduce efficiencies in your operations so you can to expand your business, the day off has a greater return on profit for your business. As a business person you need to start looking outward. This is an invaluable opportunity for anyone in business or thinking of going into business.
      People pay $$$s and travel far to get some of the insights that will be shared. I’m not in Dca and I would have gone in a blink of an eye. If a business person cannot afford to go, it means they are not serious about growing their business. Start thinking strategically and stop looking through the narrow lens of how we used to do business. Today with the Internet, the world consumer is our marketplace. Use this opportunity to learn how others are doing it. Let’s share what we know so we all come out stronger, more energized, with renewed vision for our business.

        Dear SaysaNou,

        I can assure you that my lens is wide angle and my thinking, both as an engineer and as an artist, is creative and innovative.

        Since the 1970’s I have assisted manufacturers regionally and over the last fifteen years here in Dominica. In my experience 90% of our manufacturing problems are workbench and workplace related. By workbench, I refer the correct equipment for the job and its maintenance. By workplace, I refer to a logical and efficient arrangement of the factory floor – or the kitchen table.

        Skilled mechanical engineers and well equipped machine shops are few and far between in Dominica and yet these two components are the nuts and bolts of manufacturing.

        On my work bench at the moment are two 4 foot corrugated guillotine blades that need sharpening. One factory is at a standstill until I can come up with an innovative solution for doing the job – right here in Dominica!
