Stop Bashing Contractors
Stop Bashing Contractors
Part 2 of my poking-the-bear series... 👉 🐻 I will admit to having engaged in contractor-bashing, but over time my view of the enduring challenges for our industry continues to evolve. A lot of the problems that garner most attention happen during execution, and thus GCs catch a lot of the heat. Yet, the origination of these issues can often be tracked back to earlier phases of the project, and more specifically those in control of the *Owner*. In this pack, I share some insights on how taking a team-accountability for project success will elevate project performance, but Owners need to lead a cultural shift for lasting impact. Take a flick through and drop in the comments below - what did I miss? 👇 #infrastructure #capitalprojects #ownersadvisory #bebetter #leadchange #leavethoseGCsalone #contractorshavefeelingstoo

Spending time in the market tells you one thing loud and clear right now - clients aren't happy with consultants. 😤 Most see them as a necessarily evil, others call them out as being "dumb, fat and happy"... and its undeniable, Professional Services spend decade over decade has increased with little to no material productivity gains in the infrastructure sector. But do clients (Owners) know how to get the right help? My hypothesis is - maybe. As a result, please see my Public Service Announcement (PSA) on *what to expect when you are expecting* success from an Owners Representative. It's time for change, and that starts with an honest appraisal of where we are at. What's your take?... Am I wildly off or dead on the money? 👇 #ownersrepresentative #capitalprojects #outperformthenorm | 15 comments on LinkedIn
