“How does the relationship to quality change at different scales in the development of a business?” asks Boaz Soifer in his opening remarks. “And what are the decisions and choices—in terms of strategy and organizational design—that business leaders make as they’re [transitioning] from a one-person entrepreneur company to a 200-person solar residential company?”

Boaz Soifer moderates this BayWa r.e. sponsored panel, Connecting business strategy to NABCEP Key Job Tasks, from the 2017 NABCEP conference.

The panel features four solar industry veterans who share their experiences of running solar installation companies ranging in size from 10 to 200 employees. Topics include: managing people; managing quality; training expenses; delegating tasks; regionalization; brand management; and a whole lot more.
