From revenue and profit margins to sales, marketing and customer satisfaction - now is a great time to take stock of your current trajectory, see what's working and what needs improvement, and tweak any ongoing goals you have, if necessary.

Source: Sikich A spring 2023 survey by Sikich found that optimism among manufacturing leaders is still low. According to the most recent Sikich Industry Pulse: Manufacturing and Distribution, over half of manufacturers said they now rate their optimism for future business prospects at a 7 or less on a scale of 1 to10. Top factors given for this less-than-positive trend included: • Economic conditions • Labor shortage challenges • Interest rates There is some encouraging news, however: 43% of survey respondents said they are seeing consistent or even increased customer demand, while 35% cited some supply chain improvement. Read the full survey summary here. The Sikich Industry Pulse surveys manufacturing and distribution executives from across sectors and the nation multiple times throughout the year, highlighting and responding to top trends as they arise. The Pulse results provide readers with real-time competitive intel to apply to their business strategies. More info at www.sikich.com/manufacturing-industry-pulse.
