Enjoy!
ith or without COVID-19 restrictions, many fabricators
spend a lot of time alone. Aside from interactions with
clients and employees, fabrication work itself is often performed
solo, either onboard or in the shop.
Given the solitary nature of this profession, fi nding ways to
make industry connections is crucial. Otherwise, where do you get
your design ideas? How do you learn about new tools, materials
and techniques that can help increase your effi ciency, feed your
creativity and boost your bottom line? Where do you fi nd solutions
to process and productivity problems? How the heck do you fi nd
and keep quality employees?
Fabricators tell me they rely on IFAI magazines, publication
websites and industry events such as Expo, the MFA Conference,
webinars and regional workshops, " to talk with people facing the
same problems that I have. "
In June, IFAI launched a new way to have these discussions with
like-minded people. CONNECT (www.ifai.com/connect), is an
online community that facilitates discussions of issues facing businesses
across the specialty fabrics industry. The questions at the top
of this editorial are examples of some of the early discussion topics
on the site. I encourage you to check it out and take part in these
discussions-they are a rich vein to mine for insights and expertise.
As you page through this issue of Marine Fabricator, notice how
many voices from the marine community
are included-all offering suggestions and
information to help elevate your projects
and improve your business. Connections
are key to everyone's success, and I urge
you to make them in as many ways as
possible: at Expo, the MFA conference in
January and online through CONNECT.
The truth of that old African proverb still
resonates: " If you want to go fast, go alone.
If you want to go far, go with others. "
