The Weekly Report – November 17, 2025.
Enterprise Minnesota’s game-changing business consultants are primed to bring their expertise to every type of organization.
It’s not unusual that Enterprise Minnesota receives queries from colleges, accounting and law firms, financial institutions, IT, and human resources organizations about whether they can receive the kind of business consulting we provide their manufacturing clients.
We’ve historically chosen to keep our focus on manufacturing. But then again, why not go beyond that? It just makes sense to help all organizations that also support manufacturing. So, going forward we will offer our services to any organization that also wants to grow profitably and retain great employees. It stands to reason that when they do well, all of manufacturing will prosper.
This year’s State of Manufacturing® survey illustrates that manufacturers want their companies to be known for offering employees work-life balance, a goal that’s certainly not unique to manufacturing. Every organization can develop a culture that reflects this priority, and our consultants have decades of experience helping their clients do that.
Our services are designed to help businesses and organizations of any type grow and become more profitable. Here are just a few examples of what I’m talking about.
“If you’re looking for solid advice and guidance to support you for a fair price, Enterprise Minnesota is an excellent resource. As a small business, we’ve received exceptional expertise from them and the vast knowledge of manufacturing they bring is extremely beneficial. They’ve helped us learn how to use our resources to make our business better.”
Dan Ortloff, President – Falls Fabricating
“Enterprise Minnesota works very hard to justify and validate that every dollar invested yields a strong result, and the peer councils are no exception. Everyone I’ve worked with takes obvious pride and ownership in their work. When you work with Enterprise Minnesota, you’re going to get matched up with a consultant that knows how to get the job done. You’re going to get results.”
Brandon Anderson, President – Von Ruden Manufacturing
“Engaging with Enterprise Minnesota has been valuable in many ways for our company. Not only in the facility layout process, but also for leadership development. It has been really valuable to learn about personality types, how to engage with employees, and work together more effectively. Working with Enterprise Minnesota has been a positive experience. They’ve helped our company grow profitably. Knowing that Enterprise Minnesota is advocating for us and listening to our concerns is very helpful. It feels like we have a voice.”
