This session will connect the dots between high-minded management concepts and real-world results. Change in our industry today is accelerating, and so must the development of our management of people and processes. Collision management is for those collision repair operators, owners, and managers who understand that being successful moving forward will demand a great deal more than just business as usual. It will demand accelerated development and a desire to strengthen their management skills and the skills of their teams.

The IDEAS Collide Showcase returns for 2019 with quick-hit presentations on topics ranging from augmented reality in collision repair to what counts as a cost of doing business. The 10-minute talks expose the audience to a broad mix of topics and ideas that they would not necessarily have chosen to attend as a stand-alone event, but ultimately prove to be interesting.

Description: The knowledge of a Process-Driven Organization is rooted in the entire business system and not in the people employed there. This shift allows the collision center to continuously react to the environment to update practices/SOP and ensure efficiency in every business process. Improvement is continuous and flexible. Training becomes seamless as employees simply jump into a process with little variation. Process Driven Design means that your company will sharpen their process, working to become extremely efficient while maintaining value.
