The National Association for Printing Leadership (NAPL) has introduced WorkPlan for Success, a comprehensive business development program that puts into the hands of every Association corporate member the strategies, tactics, and tools for handling many industry business issues successfully.

Built upon the proven best practices revealed through NAPL’s industry-vanguard Management Plus System, WorkPlan for Success includes guidelines, step-by-step instructions, and interactive applications for implementing the most effective management policies in every area of a 21st Century graphic communications company—from strategic planning and financial supervision to sales and customer service.

“We’ve taken our Management Plus Program knowledge, our NAPL Research Center studies, and the field experience of our Business Advisory Team members and combined them into a program that not only informs our members about what they can do to achieve greater profitability, but shows them how to do it and gives them the tools for doing so in their own company right now,” says Joseph P. Truncale, NAPL President and Chief Executive Officer.

“Our Management Plus program provides a framework of business best practices specific to our industry and our members,” says NAPL Senior Vice President William F. Woods Jr. “With WorkPlan for Success we have turned this knowledge into a living program that our members can access and apply whenever they want to, and more importantly, when they need to.

“Each of the program’s six sections begins with a short narrative on the business objective or best practice, followed by specific exercises, worksheets, tables, and charts that enable the user to interact with the concept,” Woods continues. “It’s not written in a textbook format, and much of it is presented in template form so that it can be tweaked to fit any company’s particular structure and specific needs.”
