Striking learnings from the survey 1/4 Segmentation of the wood sector: the main profession of the enterprises is a precise segment of the wood sector. - Development of external (fairs, exhibitions, conferences, events) and internal sources of information (employees, customers, suppliers). - Exchange of practices among enterprises.

Striking learnings from the survey 2/4 - Segmentation of the wood sector CRITT bois must meet the needs of entreprises according to their main profession: sawmilling, building timber furniture manufacturing.

Striking learnings from the survey 3/4 - Exchange of practices among enterprises SMEs have expressed the need to meet other SMEs of the same sector/segment or of complementary sectors (metal working, upholstery fabric…). They can meet to discuss common themes (recruiting, Knowledge Management…), to exchange practices or create partnerships.

Striking learnings from the survey 4/4 - Development of external and internal sources of information The most relevant external sources of information for SMEs are fairs, exhibitions, conferences and events. The CRITT Bois is orienting its search for information and watches toward these sources. As far as internal information is concerned, SMEs mostly rely on informal information they collect from their employees, customers, and suppliers. The next step for them is having this information reach the appropriate department (commercial, R&D, administrative…).
