“The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.” - Albert Einstein
Despite the turnout of more than 5,000 attendees at this year’s Green Industry Expo in Indianapolis, Ind., I can’t help but to come away from the event feeling a bit sorry for those of you who didn’t attend.
I doubt any of you who missed this year’s conference actually did something during these three days that hurt your businesses, but, nonetheless, you are in a weaker position now then you were before the show. The problem is that if you didn’t attend the show you didn’t do anything to improve yourself, and the odds are that someone else in your market did.
What impressed me most about this year’s show was the depth of sharing that took place in terms of ideas, philosophies, experience, lessons learned and mistakes made. I was particularly aware of this on the day before the conference began when the largest Indianapolis-based landscape company - The Engledow Group - opened its doors to more than 500 other contractors for an informative tour.
Engledow employees walked us through the majority of the operation, explaining how they handle various tasks, who handles them and the logic behind their processes. Attendees saw how the company organizes its maintenance yard and how equipment is stored for quick loading and unloading each morning. We also learned about the various positions within the company and what responsibilities accompany each one.
The beauty of tours like this is how they accelerate the learning curve for so many other companies by allowing them to avoid making many of the mistakes other companies have made. The value of these learning opportunities is illustrated by the number of organizations who boarded the buses for this particular trip, but it’s also obvious when you look at the caliber of companies that were present. There were numerous multi-million dollar companies in attendance, and they were as interested in learning as anyone else on the tour.
If you weren’t able to participate in this year’s tour, or even if you were, why not get in touch with a couple of area contractors you don’t really compete against or find some companies who aren’t more than an hour or two drive, and visit their operation? In return, invite them to your facility. The coming winter months offer the perfect opportunity for such a day of learning and looking at your own business through someone else’s eyes. There’s no telling what they see that you don’t.
