Once upon a time, there was a construction company that did great work. The employees delivered their projects on time without change orders, and without harming people or the environment. Their happy clients gave them more and more work, which the company gladly accepted, believing the fairy tale surely would continue. But then the company discovered that this rapid growth had spread them so thin that their production, safety and environmental quality had faded away. This moved them from best to worst in the eyes of their clients, and the company almost went bankrupt due to injuries, lawsuits and loss of contracts. Not all stories have a happy ending, and the construction industry certainly isn’t a fairy tale. However, your company can experience a positive outcome – even in extreme growth cycles – if you and your leaders master the skills of operational assessment and communication. This session will show you how.
