About this event
The 3rd webinar of the Collision Repair Series focuses on the people working in the bodyshop from a local, regional and international perspective. Our expert panellists from the bodyshop industry will discuss why we need our people to be involved in our gap analysis, the importance of knowing your people and how to bring the best from them, and more insights on productivity through people.
Key points of discussion:
- Are we going to change everything about how we run bodyshops?
- Setting the tone and expectations for the business
- Looking at the whole business and processes from different perspectives
- Understanding your business functionality, capability and capacity
