<p>Transforming Struggling Companies<strong> (Kerry Baskins, Peak Toolworks)</strong></p> <p>Welcome to the Factory of the Future podcast, hosted by Michelle Segrest!</p> <p>Kerry Baskins is a “Salesman at Heart” but he made the transition from leading commercial teams to leading companies in 2013 when he took over leadership for several mature businesses at Accudyne Industries, a joint PE venture between BC Partners and Carlisle Group.&nbsp; It was there that Kerry was first given the opportunity to deploy his “Transformational Toolbox,” a compilation of the best business practices he experienced over the course of his career.&nbsp; The resulting improvements in employee engagement, profitability, and operational metrics were not only dramatic, but validated that the approach was spot on for struggling or stagnant industrial businesses.</p> <p>Michelle Segrest has created and branded <a href="https://www.navigatecontent.com/troubleshooting-pumps-related-systems"><strong>editorial content for the processing industries </strong></a>since 2008.
