FMI Construction Executive: 4 Day, In Person Training 7/12/2022 - 7/15/2022

Tue, 14 Dec 2021 16:41:18 GMT

Bad business decisions can be costly and reverberate through your organization. Many owners and executives have decades of knowledge and experience upon which they base their decisions, but that experience is difficult to pass on to the next generation of business leaders.

In our four-day, experienced-based Construction Executive Institute, we work with you and your leaders to rapidly build the knowledge and experience necessary to understand your business challenges and apply the lessons learned to the bottom line.

This senior-level, immersion experience is built around four core themes:

Developing and maintaing profitable, long-term business success through strategy, planning and adaptation.
Identifying, evaluating and mitigating enterprise risks.
Understanding and mastering financial controls of your business.
Bidding and preparing for profitable projects.

Participants work together to launch and build their companies to produce the highest return on investment. Operating in a competitive construction marketplace, each team must identify and employ a strategy to win profitable work and employ its resources to outperform competing companies. Learn to run a profitable business through a dynamic business environment over time and gain the experience you need to become an industry leader.
