Breakthrough A/E/C Strategic Planning
Live Online Master Class

Is it worse for your A/E/C firm to be operating in a radically different business environment while still relying on the firm-wide strategic plan you developed pre-COVID? Or without a strategic plan at all? Either scenario puts your firm's financial health at risk. 

The  truth is that strategic plans developed in 2019 or earlier are no longer reliable decision-making tools. From delayed and canceled projects to the vaccine rollout, the pandemic is forcing a radical rethinking of A/E/C business models and processes. 

GREAT NEWS: With the proven advice and step-by-step instructions you get by participating in Breakthrough A/E/C Strategic Planning Online Master Class, you get everything you need to create or revise a comprehensive strategic plan that WORKS in this new and challenging business climate.

LEARN A PROVEN PROCESS FROM THE LEADER IN STRATEGIC PLANNING

For 44 years, the most successful A/E/C firms have engaged PSMJ experts and analysts to develop their annual or biannual strategic plan. Applying a suite of proprietary tools, we work hand-in-hand with top leadership to craft a 12 to 24-month roadmap for hitting specific financial performance targets. The PSMJ process attacks the 9 core issues that determine success, mediocrity, or failure in A/E/C business management.

Armed with the new plan we develop together, our clients know the metrics to monitor, the resources to allocate, the markets to expand into, the branch offices to grow or shrink, the personnel to hire or release, and how to make dozens of other mission-critical decisions with confidence. 

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT DEVELOPING AN A/E/C FIRM STRATEGIC PLAN IS BUILT INTO THIS 6-SESSION LIVE AND ONLINE MASTER CLASS, CONDUCTED BY OUR MOST EXPERIENCED EXPERTS.
