About Gulf Works Lab

Gulf Works Lab is a community of practice for HR, IT, Finance, and Operations leaders in small and midsize manufacturing. Members bring a real problem to a weekly huddle, work it with experts and peers, and leave with a plan they can implement the next day. The lab is headquartered in Tampa Bay and serves manufacturers worldwide.

What we talk about

  • Leadership and accountability in SMB manufacturing
  • Practical AI adoption by business function
  • Fractional functional leadership
  • Process, people, and technology change at the same time
