Strategic Planning

A Practical Guide for a Profitable Construction Company

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

When you build something, you need to have a building plan. As it is with buildings, so it is with businesses. If you are interested in growing your construction business, you need to make sure that you have a good business growth strategy. This is the only reliable way of ensuring that your construction business will thrive in this competitive field.

For that growth, you need a strategic plan to make better than average profits, expand your capacity, ensure success and build a better company. By methodically working through all the necessary segments, we will create a Strategic Growth Plan and use it as the basis for creating a Business Plan and developing a Financial Plan.

Everyone will return to their place of business fully prepared to create and develop those same three plans for their company.

 Instructor: Wayne Newell

For over 35 years Wayne served in senior financial leadership roles and worked with companies throughout Canada, the United States and the Caribbean. His experiences and expertise, shared with many companies, has helped owners, managers, employees and businesses grow. In doing so, he has amassed a library of knowledge on what makes a successful contracting company.

During his seminars he discusses his experiences in implementing specific techniques, methods and strategies used to help contracting companies increase profits, control and/or reduce costs and improve cash flows. He has been presenting his exclusive seminars in major Canadian cities since 2003.
