Want to share your insight for Enterprise Minnesota’s State of Manufacturing® (SOM) annual survey? Enterprise Minnesota retains a professional pollster to survey over 500 manufacturers about the challenges they face in today’s environment. The executive focus groups are a critical adjunct, capturing color and context that a survey just cannot reveal. We encourage you to participate in one of the eight executive focus group sessions. You would add meaningful insights and can speak candidly because your name and company will not be identified publicly.
Widseth is a longtime Platinum Sponsor of Enterprise Minnesota’s State of Manufacturing® (SOM) survey, now in its 18th year.
These executive focus group sessions are limited to 12 participants and available sessions fill quickly — register today.
