This week's key takeaway:

Driving performance, productivity and profitability - with Robin Taylor

Episode intro:

If you can't measure your business effectively, you're not going to improve. On the show this week is Robin Taylor from Axalta: a man who is helping businesses across the country measure their paint costs. Paint is something that can catch people out - sometimes a body shop will only notice the creep of paint jobs after they've completed unprofitable work.

Robin talks us through Axalta's Drivus program: a suite of digital utilities that can help you nail your KPIs and keep costs down.

In this week's episode you will learn:

• The importance of KPIs
• How Axalta is keeping up with the times
• How the Australian market compares to the US and UK
• Axalta's Drivus Program
• The dangers of volume
• How to measure your success
• How to get access to Axalta's program
• Why you need buy-in from your team
• The highlights from the Paint & Panel Awards
