Most local businesses miss out on valuable growth tools hiding in plain sight.

Workforce Development Starts with Strong Partnerships. One of the greatest strengths of the Sacramento Region's manufacturing community is our willingness to work together. SVMA recently joined regional leaders for an outstanding tour of Penumbra, Inc. in the City of Roseville—a remarkable example of what can be accomplished when innovation, investment, and workforce development come together. In just 6½ years, Penumbra has grown from 50 employees to more than 1,600, manufacturing life-saving medical catheters while creating hundreds of high-quality career opportunities in our region. Their success demonstrates that investing in people is just as important as investing in technology. Tours like this provide more than a behind-the-scenes look at advanced manufacturing—they create opportunities for industry, education, workforce organizations, and economic development partners to better understand employers' needs and work together to build the talent pipeline that supports continued growth. A special thank you to Vince Kramer and Derek Pell of Penumbra for their hospitality and for sharing the company's impressive growth story. We also appreciate Robert Cline and the Envision Roseville – City of Roseville, CA Economic Development team for organizing this valuable opportunity. It was great to collaborate with representatives from Placer County Economic Development, Greater Sacramento Economic Council, Roseville Area Chamber of Commerce, and Kevin McGrew, President of the Sacramento Valley Manufacturing Alliance -SVMA . When manufacturers, educators, workforce partners, and economic development organizations collaborate, we create more than jobs—we build sustainable career pathways, strengthen our regional economy, and ensure that advanced manufacturing continues to thrive in the Sacramento Region. Together, we're building the future manufacturing workforce. #SVMA #WorkforceDevelopment #AdvancedManufacturing #EconomicDevelopment #Manufacturing #Penumbra #Roseville #SacramentoRegion #TalentPipeline #RegionalPartnerships #MedicalManufacturing #ManufacturingCareers #madeinCA #medtechmanufacturing

The founders who scale aren’t always the most talented. They’re the hardest to distract. While everyone else is testing a new niche… They’re sending outreach. While everyone else is redesigning their website… They’re following up. While everyone else is watching another sales video… They’re booking appointments. Business rewards execution far more than intelligence. The people who win aren’t chasing the next big thing. They’re repeating the fundamentals until the fundamentals become unfair.

How does your business maintain growth while the population around you grows? The Key Opportunity Right Now" The biggest mistake businesses make during periods of population growth is competing only for today's customers. The most successful Greater Lafayette businesses will focus on becoming: Wanted before someone needs the service. Found when they start searching. Chosen when they compare options. With thousands of people continuing to move into the Greater Lafayette region because of Purdue, economic development initiatives, advanced manufacturing, technology investment, and ongoing housing expansion, businesses that consistently execute all three stages can build sustainable growth for years rather than relying on short-term advertising spikes. Be there and get wanted found and chosen more often.

One of the biggest breaks in my career started as an experiment. Back in my Best Buy days, I helped launch Best Buy for Business in Colorado. It wasn’t some established career path. It was a pilot. An idea. A test. Then came Best Buy Mobile. Another fun experiment. At the time, nobody knew exactly what these programs would become. There wasn’t necessarily a blueprint. No guarantee they would succeed. No certainty they would even exist a few years later. Do they still exist??! What I learned was that careers rarely move forward because of titles. They move forward because someone trusts you with something that hasn’t been figured out yet. The people who advanced were the ones willing to step into ambiguity. Willing to build the playbook while everyone else was waiting for it. Looking back, those projects led to opportunities I never could have predicted. Retail led to real estate. Real estate led to Enterprise Transformation. Enterprise transformation lead to SaaS. SaaS led to statewide modernization programs supporting 30,000+ users across 18 agencies. None of that was part of some grand master plan. How could it be?! It started with saying “yes” to something that didn’t fully exist yet. Sometimes the best opportunities in your career aren’t the jobs everyone wants. They’re the experiments nobody is sure will work. When have you stepped into the dark and created light? #Leadership #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment #Innovation #TakeTheChance #GrowthMindset #ChangeLeadership #Transformation #FutureOfWork
