As MTI Members look into 2023, uncertainty and rapid change will be two of the biggest obstacles that most will face. With inflationary pressures, uncertainty about the on-going recession, and a tight labor market, it is a challenge to navigate the market to know what path to take to grow your company. Having access to real-time, relevant information is key in 2023 and beyond.
In MTI’s latest Monday Operational Check-ins, Members share the following:
- 76% met or exceeded their expectations and forecasts for their business plans in 2022
- 24% did not meet their expectations and forecasts in their business plans in 2022
- The top four areas of concern in 2023 are labor, sales growth, operations, and HR
The Metal Treating Institute listens intently to the results of the Monday check-ins to help drive valuable solutions in providing programs, resources, and services to help members drive success and growth.
