HIT Profit TARGETS
Develop future business leaders
Transform processes & systems
MANY A&E FIRMS ARE LEAKING PROFITS DUE TO INEFFECTIVE PROCESSES, NON-INTEGRATED SYSTEMS AND A CULTURE FOCUSED ON TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE AND NOT BUSINESS SUCCESS.
If not addressed, you will lose profits and frustrate employees.
The biggest problems you will see are:
Scope Creep
Poor estimates
Lost opportunities
Slow cash flow
Damaged client relationships
Project budget overruns
Write-offs
Poor employee and client retention
MOST COMPANIES TRAIN…
WE DEVELOP.
Traditional training does not change your employees’ mindset, behavior or performance. Unless you address the underlying business practices, cultural issues and communication in your firm, you will get the same results.
Sending PMs to a two-day bootcamp doesn’t fix the bottlenecks holding your team back!
In just ten weeks, we can help you transform teams of people, and address the underlying issues that cause you to leak money and cause employee frustration.

Quickly find out exactly where business processes, systems and training are failing your employees and costing you money.
Don’t guess what your employees are thinking.
Progressive A&E Firm Leaders ask their employees how to be better…
The Find the Lost Dollars Business Management Assessment tool will quickly give you the answers you need, and in the most cost-effective way.
The Find the Lost Dollars Business Management Assessment is a completely automated survey tool that probes the minds and opinions of your staff to instantly understand where bottlenecks, redundant systems, and time-wasting business practices are slowing down their work and keeping them from delivering profitable and successful projects.
It evaluates your employee’s answers to about 160 questions in 9 critical areas of your business.
For each of these areas you get scores and recommendations that break down the data by People, Process and Technology, giving you clear data of where your firm is strong, average, or possibly struggling. The data can be analyzed by groups to provide further insight into where there may be issues with offices, teams, business units or by role.

Progressive A&E Firm Leaders Invest in their Teams to be the Best in the Industry!
Your employees are your greatest asset and investing in them strategically can give your firm a competitive and recruiting advantage in the marketplace. Progressive A&E leaders that develop the best teams deliver better, faster and more profitable projects, and consistently retain and get more work from great clients.
Your employees did not learn how to be business leaders in college, and as a result, often “give away” your profits because they don’t know how to bring in business, ask clients for money or control project costs. By giving them business skills and empowering them to help your firm succeed, they will feel happier and want to stay with your firm longer.
Two-day bootcamps are a waste of time and traditional training does not change your employees’ mindset or behavior. What your employees do every day is what makes the difference between success and failure on projects. Most of their activities are driven by long-held habits that take ten weeks to change!
After working with thousands of A&E firms over 30 years, we have developed the leading educational program for growing progressive A&E firms to ensure their employees can excel in the business of design, engineering and environmental consulting.
The Find the Lost Dollars training program offers 10 online and group facilitated modules that get your employees to follow business best practices and have them searching and finding lost dollars in just ten weeks! We dive into the following subjects to ensure employees are prepared for the Design and Construction industry of the future!
· Culture Traps that Steal Your Profits
· Nine Areas Where Firms Lose Money
· Effective A&E Firm Financial Management
· Marketing, Business Development and Sales Effectiveness
· Contract Types, Project Costs and Estimating

Give your employees the edge they need to deliver top industry financial results and feel empowered to help your firm succeed.
