Contractors that effectively integrate their workflow and systems can grow profits faster in a good economy and can weather the storm far better in a downturn. This 90 minute Webinar should be attended by owners and all key managers who want to improve performance and eliminate restraints.

The topics covered will include:
  • Profit Constraints – What is holding your business back?

  • Identifying and streamlining the key cross-functional processes that add the most value to your company.
  • Leveraging real data from your company to drive lasting change.
  • Developing a strong operating rhythm around the two most important company-level meetings.
  • Improve your project performance by adding rigor and structure to two key processes.  
This Webinar is best used as a foundation for discussion.  We highly recommend that you schedule an additional hour at the end of the Webinar with your team to discuss the ideas and identify specific next steps for your company.  The handout will include discussion guides and thought provoking questions to help facilitate this “Post Meeting”.
