Never waste a crisis

In this episode of the CTW podcast, we speak with Benjamin Baur, the CEO of caravan, motorhome, and RV door manufacturing expert Konrad Baur. Ben has overseen the company grow from a start-up in 2007 to become a leading supplier in the industry with prestigious big-name clients. Ben talks to us about the challenges he and the company have faced and overcome over the last decade, but more importantly, about how those experiences shaped the thought processes of the company and helped set it up for success in the future. With lessons coming from everything including supply chain management, exponential growth in demand, and even a Quentin Tarantino movie, Ben has some very interesting takeaways that can help us all, in his own words, to “never waste a crisis”.
