Introduction: Engaging with the Past, Present, and Future…

Over the past decade we have engaged with hundreds of participants and professionalsin the product safety field. Past editions of the directory have focused on themes thatinclude company culture, the complexity of managing product safety in a globaleconomy, and the ways in which leadership impacts product safety and theestablishment of an effective product safety program.

Engagement is the theme of the 2020 Product Safety & Recall Directory®.

Many practitioners in the field encounter engagement issues daily, sometimes withoutrealizing that engagement drives both rewards and challenges in the field of productsafety. The rewards come from a job well done that is the outcome of a team orgroup effort. The challenge comes when peers, colleagues, superiors, and the manystakeholders outside of a company may not fully understand product safety, how it ispracticed, and why it is essential to the well-being of the company, its work force, itscustomers, and consumers. Without the ability to engage, through ongoing education,the product safety professional is missing a primary element in organizational and in-dividual success.

The editorial section of the 2020 Directory is dedicated to this theme through thewritings of some of the fields most respected professionals.

At ADK Information Services, LLC we try our best to stay fully engaged with ourvarious stakeholders. Through the weekly Product Safety Education newsletters, westay bonded to many in the product safety field both domestically andinternationally. Through our weekly Product Safety Network News, we hopefully areengaging our stakeholders with information they need to know about what ishappening in product safety around the world. Through our presence at the annualICPHSO conference, we bring a growing number of our graduates, instructors, andcolleagues together with our annual receptions. And finally, through our dailynetworking with individuals around the country and globe we learn what is onpeoples’ minds, and whether there is a role for ADK to play in addressing those issuesor ideas.

It’s been a remarkable journey for out group since we first announced at the 2009ICPHSO conference in Toronto ADK’s intention to provide information and educationto the consumer product safety community. We hope we’ve been able to inform,help education, and please those of you who have joined us on this journey.

Acknowledgements: The Joy of Engagement

In thinking back over a nearly 50-year career in the field of training, communications,and business management there is one thing that stands out. Each of these experienceshas been enriched by the people who have come together under the various umbrellasto make their contributions, and to spread the warmth and gratification that comes from engagement.

Some of these are colleagues go back many years, such as Harold Zinn, who came out ofretirement recently to take over the editorship of the Product Safety & Recall Directory.®

Or Linda Tyler, who was ADK’s first program coordinator as well as managing ADK’ssurvey work for the decade of our existence; it goes back further, as Linda and I workedside-by-side the previous decade+ with a team at Business Response, Inc. where we firstmade a name managing product recalls in the consumer product safety field.

More recently, and closer to home are close colleagues that include Dr. Ik-Whan Kwon,my full “partner in risk” in piloting the first ever consumer product safety programoffered through a major university school of business, the 100+ year old RichardChaifetz School of Business at Saint Louis University. We didn’t know if the programwould be successful or not; but we agreed that we’re both risk takers and that this wasa risk worth taking. This relationship has carried over to include Cindy Mebruer, thesuccessor to Dr. Kwon as the director of the Center for Supply Chain Excellence andBeth-Anne Yakubu, director of the Emerson Leadership Institute, both centers beinghoused at the Chaifetz School.

Over the past 7 years, another partner has placed a hand squarely on the success of oureducation programs: Dennis Blasius. Dennis was an instructor for our programs whileserving as Director of Field Operations for the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commissionwhen we first met. Upon his retirement, we quickly agreed that he should stay engagedin a broader capacity, taking over the coordination of our key programs.

Integral to our daily operations are such professionals as Larry Mrazak, an IT whiz whohas been managing our website and search engine that helps companies find serviceproviders in the product safety field, and Lisa Karl, who is a data base associate keepingup with the growing interest in our work.

I also want to acknowledge the support of my wife, Ann, along with our children, Benand Sarah, who have both planted their flag in ADK earth in meaningful roles throughthe years.

Last, and far from least, is Steve Epner, a technology entrepreneur and adjunct teacherat the Chaifetz School of Business, who was responsible as part of an advisory team formassaging the idea of university-level product safety management education and thengetting it introduced to our eventual home at Saint Louis University.
