“One analogy that we can use at the end of time is having really strong foundations. There’s no point having an amazing, beautiful looking building that is going to crack at the next inconvenience. It’s the same in business building, it’s the same with getting the right support services, and the right teams under your roof.”
These are the words of our most recent guest Elinor Moshe, as she expounds how digital outsourcing overlaps and has similarities to the construction industry.
Elinor is an ambitious and driven thought leader, best-selling author, podcast host and businesswoman disrupting the construction industry. She’s the founder of The Construction Coach; Australia’s first construction coach and a podcast host of Constructing You. She ties her distinctive thinking, uncommon insights with over 8 years’ experience in the commercial construction industry, to generate transformative and exceptional results for her clients. Elinor has been featured in Yahoo! Finance, Australian National Construction Review and over 30 podcasts discussing her career and business acumen. She holds a Master of Construction Management and Bachelor of Environments from the University of Melbourne.
By tackling an industry that is less known to the outsourcing community, we can understand the need of outsourcing in any business even with something as physical as the construction industry. This also applies to our own processes and vision in realizing the importance of every stage in building a monument, career, or business at a certain sequence.
