You Can't Test In Safety

As I follow up on the many conversations that were started at the recent PPAI North American Leadership Conference and the PPAI Product Safety Summit, my belief that the rate of change in our industry is accelerating continues to be confirmed. (See my previous blog post, Surf's Up - Our Industry is at a Tipping Point, for details.) More companies are embracing product safety as an integral part of their business strategy, and they are beginning to understand they can use compliance to differentiate their offerings from those companies who continue to resist adapting to the changing marketplace.
