Road Map to Increased Profitability

Friday, April 23 & 30, 7:00-9:00 AM

Turn your strategic vision into bottom-line results! Most companies have a sense of where they are going, but haven’t defined a clear path of how to get there. This gap between defining a strategic plan and executing it translates into poor allocation of resources, inefficiencies, unclear expectations and missed opportunities. This program, designed for construction executives, will help make your strategic plan a living document – tied to realistic, action-oriented strategies that will align your team to move the company forward. This highly interactive seminar will give you clarity about your objectives, help you identify and prioritize key strategies and put together a timeframe for execution. Please register early – participants will receive a pre-seminar worksheet to complete before the seminar to maximize the program benefits.
