Performance MD - Business HealthCheck
Speaker: Patrick Shore
President and CEO, IntelliThink LLC
Patrick
Shore brings more than 25 years of business solution
experience to his position at IntelliThink LLC.
Now serving as President & CEO of the
company, Patrick is a dynamic visionary leader and is
widely recognized as being a creative leader in defining
and developing thought-provoking business process,
organization, and technology solutions that enhance a
company’s ability to be successful.
Just
as it is often easy to take our own physical health for
granted, as business leaders, we can unwittingly do the
same with the health of our companies.
When we’re busy with the many daily trials and
challenges each of us face, it’s not always easy to
take the time to stand back and look closely at the
“vital signs” of our companies.
This
month’s subject briefing is a kind of reminder that a Business
HealthCheck is as important as any aspect of the
operation of a company.
Our speaker will discuss seven critical business
areas within a company that almost always need an
examination.
He’ll demonstrate how such an examination takes
place and what to do with results that are discovered.
So, if these trying times have elevated your
business blood pressure or have given you a jaundiced
view of the future, check out the Performance
MD at this month’s Manufacturers’ forum.

The region's diverse manufacturing
base is key to our economy, supplying over one third
of our jobs. In March 2003 the Manufacturer
Forum, an independent association, merged with
Southeast Kansas, Inc. to become "The
Manufacturers' Forum of SEK, Inc." This
merger heightens the awareness of the importance of
manufacturing jobs, allows for a focused manufacturing
legislative agenda, and provides monthly educational
and networking sessions exclusively for the
manufacturing industry. The power of our
manufacturing industry and the organizational
structure of SEK, Inc. will allow us to accomplish
more---together!

Manufacturers' Forum
Legislative Position Statement
Workers Comp and
Unemployment Comp
The Manufacturers’ Forum of SEK, Inc. whose
members are your constituents and who represent the
legislative position of all manufacturers in your district,
strongly urge the legislature to take immediate action to
improve the unhealthy business environment and reduce the cost
of doing business in Kansas; specifically
-
Change the Workers Compensation
statute to be more employer friendly and less costly with
regard to the treatment of pre-existing conditions,
enforcement of the law, fraudulent claims, consideration of
the aging process on the body and aggravation of pre-existing
injuries;
-
Change the eligibility rules for
unemployment compensation regarding random drug testing,
extended benefits, absenteeism and work sharing;
-
Defeat the proposed establishment
of a state OSHA agency independent of KDHR, which would create
unnecessary red tape and additional costs since the agency
would be dependent upon fines and fees levied against
manufacturers to exist.
