Contractors who are consistently improving their scoreboard, including profitable growth, focus on making the behaviors and actions that LEAD to profitability consistent habits.  

Leadership Tools: Consistent Profitability Follows Predictability.

Having a BIG GOAL is exciting to talk about, but whether in business, sports, or life, merely having that goal isn't enough to get you there.  

You must have a BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) to set your vision, help you chart your course, and help you get back up after continuous setbacks...but the REAL WORK of achieving that goal comes down to intense focus on doing the small things consistently. Every single time.    

This is why the Last Planner System© (LPS) focuses on consistency of weekly execution with a feedback and learning component.  

Consistent execution of these standards may seem boring, but they are the foundation of continuous improvement. The Plan > Do > Check > Act (PDCA) process can’t work if you don’t have standards in place that are consistently being followed.

BIM Culture
Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) is changing every aspect of project delivery. There is a lot of technology involved and many technical challenges. But ultimately the biggest challenges are about talent:
Rockstars, M&M's, Safety, and Contractor Growth
As projects and contractors grow in size and complexity, it is impossible for leaders to be everywhere and see everything, yet they are 100% accountable for the outcomes. Leverage simple indicators like a rockstar to quickly identify areas of concern.
Private Equity and Construction
All of the trends that are changing the construction industry today require economies of scale and capital to truly take advantage of. Private Equity firms are seeing that trend and taking a bigger interest in the construction market.
