NWIRC presents Driving Impact for Manufacturers (DIFM25), our 1st annual manufacturing conference. The goal is to provide companies the opportunity to be part of an immersive experience, hear from national experts, forge connections, and harness resources – all to help develop a strong, engaged workforce and grow your business. The event is geared for company owners, executives, managers, team leaders, and really anyone who works in manufacturing or alongside the industry.
Ready or Not? Manufacturing Business Simulation Game:
Your company’s greatest competitive advantage is adapting to change faster than your competition. ‘Ready or Not’ strengthens your adaptability in three ways:
- Raises business IQ
- Builds a strategic mindset
- Strengthens teamwork & connections
‘Ready or Not’ is a business simulation game for manufacturers that helps players develop strategic, analytical, and communication skills by taking on leadership roles at a fictional manufacturing company and making business decisions in a collaborative, fast-paced environment. Throughout the game you’ll interact with breaking news, make strategic investment decisions, manage KPIs, and respond to game events modeled on real-life business challenges. You don’t need to be a manufacturer to participate!
