April 12, 2019 Overcoming the Workforce Resistance to Adopt New Ideas
Send us a text
Jeff shares practical advice and powerful stories in how to implement change in construction that can take a business to the next level.
Construction moves fast, but change does not always follow. The industry is often slow to introduce new technology and processes. Some believe that the reason for this is often the difficulty companies have in introducing new ideas into an already complicated business. Bringing new ideas into established businesses is not easy to do. However to stay competitive a business must be able to adapt and change. Construction is moving at such a fast pace that if companies are not able to adapt, they are going to fall behind. This episode is all about learning how to implement change the right way. From communicating with key stakeholders, keeping an open perspective and taking small steps, we share some practical advice on how to implement change in an organization.
