How did Northwood University students recently get a glimpse of dealership operations? Students in The Automotive Group (TAG) participated in a Strategy Navigator workshop with Reynolds associates.

Strategy Navigator is a comprehensive workshop Reynolds offers to dealerships using any DMS. The workshop pinpoints a dealership's strengths and weaknesses to help them grow into a high performance dealership.

Members of TAG role-played using real situations dealerships may be facing in today's market. Steve VanArsdale, president of TAG, summarized the students' reactions to the workshop:

"The students enjoyed the chance to see the daily decisions a manger faces and the impact those decisions have on the entire dealership. Strategy Navigator seems like a great opportunity for dealerships to improve their operations. It's a two hour investment that really will pay dividends."

The students also enjoyed learning how this workshop could help a dealership unify their management team and how Reynolds is the only company that offers this service in the automotive industry.
