The Northeast Chapter of the DBIA Florida Region is pleased to present Gregg Schoppman of FMI for our November luncheon.

After years of unprecedented growth and prosperity, construction organizations are entering uncharted territory. Massive layoffs and downsizing, shrinking backlogs and corporate failures driven by a stagnant and flailing economy have caused many industry leaders to take notice and ask what they should be doing to protect their organizations. Focusing on the organization, strategy and execution are three areas that FMI encourages during turbulent times. How are you structured? What is your core business? What business should you be in? How efficient do you operate? How are you managing all aspects of your business? These are a sample of the questions we address in this program. Furthermore, FMI examines the root causes of contractor failure to give you an insight into what NOT to do. In each aspect of the business, FMI will point to key "best practices" that are fundamental to protecting the firm and ensuring long term viability. In addition to FMI's presentation, there will be a roundtable discussion on what businesses are currently doing to effective "weather the storm".
