Dr. Perry Daneshgari was asked to speak to the Grand Blanc Rotary Club on 12/13/04. He delivered a presentation on Productivity in the New Economy “The Impact of the new Economy on Small Businesses” based on over 100 years of experience in industries ranging from banking to manufacturing and construction to healthcare. The group was intrigued by examples of productivity improvements MCA has led. Dr. Perry explained that the key to sustained productivity and profitability lies in a company's business principles and operating philosophy, not the operations themselves. There were 25 Rotarians present.
