Viewpoint: What Are You Doing To Help Our Industry Thrive?

Well said, Ben. One of the problems I see is inaction. So many are waiting to see what others do. They ask themselves: Are my competitors auditing? Are my competitors certified or accredited? Are my customers asking me about brand protection? - And the list goes on. At the same time, many talk a good game about their efforts to be "different" to offer "value". Unfortunately, this line of thinking keeps our industry from moving forward and places everyone at risk. Real leaders take the bull by the horns and LEAD. They go above and beyond the expected norms and set the standards for behavior by their action. It's more than just asking for data...its about demanding proof of where the data comes from and how it was verified. And, this does not just mean testing documents. This industry has a real problem with being able to demonstrate accountability through their factories when it comes to social responsibility (human rights, labor laws, etc.). An industry social group was discussing this topic just this past week. I second your challenge. It's time for action. The time for talking and playing wait-and-see has passed.

Question: Customers Are Always Right— Or Are They?

Seriously, this is an easy one. Redo it for free. Unfortunately you put yourself in this situation by taking a shortcut, and one of the best an honorable ways to take care of this is is to redo it for free. I am betting that the cost of a bad reputation is way more expensive than redoing the order. Plus the experience you learned from this hiccup is worth more than the order as well. This isn't and never was on the customer, many customers can not picture what their products will look like in real life, they aren't as creative as you. Live and definitely learn.
