This is the first in our series of articles about the upcoming Small Business Week in Airdrie.

Do you want your manufacturing or construction business to be more productive? Productivity is an issue that managers and owners deal with every day. As part of this year's Small Business Week, the Airdrie Business Resource Partnership (ABRP) is putting on a Productivity 101 Workshop that will inspire you to become more strategic in your approach to operating your business.

Participants will work through the results of the Productivity Assessment Tool and walk away with a custom 120-Day Productivity Action Plan. Plus, they’ll learn more about the importance of innovation, operations, leadership & management, and other productivity improvement best practices.

The workshop will be facilitated by Productivity Alberta. Leona Esau with the ABRP says Airdrie's small manufacturing and construction businesses will benefit from the delivery of this program.

Participants will have some work to do prior to attending the workshop. Go online at the ABRP website to register and for more information.
