Can the Plastics Industry Continue to Grow or Is Trouble Ahead? An Interview with Laurie Harbour, President and CEO of Harbour Results on the State of the Plastics Industry

Craig Carrel, President Team 1 Plastics, recently interviewed Laurie Harbour, President and CEO of Harbour Results on the state of the plastics industry. Laurie has over 20 years experience working with manufacturing companies, including plastic manufacturers. She currently is on the board of directors of the Manufacturers Association for Plastics Processors (MAPP).

Team 1 has enjoyed a long-standing partnership with Laurie and Harbour Results and she has played a critical role in the development of our strategic plan. We were pleased to spend some time with Laurie and discuss the current state of the plastics industry along with the challenges, threats and opportunites for growth in plastics.

I tried to watch the video, but it says "this video is private".

Pam, 
 
 
 
We fixed the problem and apologize for the inconvenience. This is our first blog interview and still working out all the bugs. We would appreciate your feedback.

Great interview!  
 
My only suggestion would be to perhaps split it up into three or so shorter clips with themes (i.e. "Part 2 - Recruiting Talent in the Post-Recession Plastics Industry"). That might facilitate some more social sharing & spreading of the clips.  
 
Overall, great content and nice format. Keep up the good work. I look forward to the next one.

Pam, 
 
 
 
Thank you for your feedback. We will consider ways to break up the interviews into shorter segments.  
 
 
 
Our next interview is focused on the automotive industry and due out soon.

Great job using video to deliver blog topics! I recently wrote a blog on solutions to the Skilled Labor Gap and thought I'd share to add to Laurie's suggestions. I'd also love to hear any other suggestions....

Congratulations, Craig and Laurie!!! This is terrific; a tribute to Team 1 and Harbour Results. I'm sure I'll be even more impressed as soon as I figure out what "bifurcation" means!

Tom, 
 
 
 
Thanks for your feedback.  
 
 
 
Now that you mentioned it I had to look up "bifurcation". It looks like it means the splitting of a main body into two parts. 
 
 
 
I expanded my vocabulary today thanks to Laurie Harbour.
