Business Transitions Forum 2022: Determining The Value Of Your Company And How To Increase It
2022-11-23 10:50 - 11:45 UTC | The Westin Bayshore, 1601 Bayshore Dr., Vancouver, BC, V6G 2V4, Canada
Do you really know what your business is worth? What do buyers or investors look for when considering a deal and how are the COVID years factored into the valuation? Where can you add the most value to your organization? What areas of growth will provide the greatest return? Most business owners don’t get nearly what they should because they weren’t prepared or didn’t focus on the things that are most important to buyers. This can gravely affect the value of your company.
As a business owner, it’s imperative to focus on the specific areas of your business that drive value, even if you have no immediate intention of selling.

BUILDEX 2022: Management in a Work from Home World- Getting the Most from Yourself and Your Team
2022-03-23 13:00 - 15:00 (America/Vancouver) | Vancouver Convention Centre West
Whether your workforce is out of the office or is on-site but without direct supervision, this seminar is for you. The old philosophy of command and control is dying. Managers are increasingly required to trust that even if they can’t see them, their people are still productive. And all of this must be accomplished in the most diverse workforce we’ve ever seen – different ages, different languages spoken, different experience levels. It’s a huge task for everyone. Life as a leader is certainly more enjoyable when you have a team of intrinsically motivated, gritty, smart employees. Unfortunately, we work in the real world. This can’t-miss workshop pulls together the leading research on motivation and delves into the specific tools leaders can implement as soon as they return to the office.
At the end of this seminar, the participants will:

Understand how the science of motivation has changed
Know specific tools to motivate in the WFH world (regardless of whether the person is at home or on-site)
Learn to maintain their own personal motivation amidst change and chaos

HAVAN: Estimating You Way To Profits - The Winner's Curse
2019-11-22 08:00 - 11:00, 2018-09-09 08:00 - 11:00 (America/Vancouver) | Cosentino Center, 8603 Glenlyon Pkwy, Burnaby, BC, V5J 0H6, Canada
What is the winner’s curse? Whoever makes the biggest estimating mistake wins the job. First, the bad news: Successful companies rarely “buy work” through discounting, and profitability is not the reward for hard work, good intentions, or being a “good guy.”  Now, the good news: Profitability is the reward for smart work. This means having good systems in place. Trying to minimize costs is always a goal when tendering contracts. And too often, contractors focus solely on price, adopting strategies and pricing that can kill the rewards of winning the contract. These tactics can go so far as to threaten the company’s financial health.

FBA VI: Protect Your Legacy Through Process Benchmarking
2019-11-13 08:00 - 11:00 (America/Vancouver) | Victoria Golf Club, 1110 Beach Drive, Victoria, BC, V8S 2M9, Canada
Propel your business to the next level with process benchmarking

Every company does some form of benchmarking, even if they don’t call it that. They measure this year’s performance against last year’s – some even benchmark against a budget. Many of these metrics provide interesting information about what happened yesterday but are unlikely to offer insight about how to improve the results tomorrow.
Process benchmarking provides a roadmap to achieving a company’s goals. Whether you are after more revenue, more profit, or just more time with your family, existing processes can be benchmarked against hundreds of best practices drawn from multiple industries. With this information, leaders can see exactly how their processes stack up against the best of the best. And, more importantly, they can see where best to dedicate their improvement efforts to yield the specific results they want.
Join us as we explore process benchmarking and how to use it to propel your family business to the next level. This workshop identifies the companies poised to gain the highest return from a process benchmarking analysis, why it does not work in some environments, and the necessary steps to implementing lasting results.
An advance questionnaire delivers a personal report that will allow you to initiate the development of an implementation plan for the best practices relevant to your unique situation. Higher profit, less stress, and more time with the family. Worth a 3-hour investment? Join us.

If you believe, “You want it done right? You gotta do it yourself.” If you’ve caught yourself saying, “If I’ve told them once, I’ve told them a thousand times but they just won’t listen!” Could it be that you don’t just need more information about delegation, but instead need to master the psychology and systems that managers are using every day to give direction and get superior results? There are systems that help. In this session, you will be provided the tools and training used by high-performance managers to work effectively with their teams to get things done. No sugar coating, no random tactics, just step-by-step systems that work in the real world.

The Winner’s Curse
2015-12-07 07:30 - 09:30 UTC | Accent Inn Burnaby, 3777 Henning Drive, Burnaby, BC, V5C 6N5, Canada
What is the winner’s curse? Whoever makes the biggest estimating mistake wins the job. First, the bad news:

Successful companies rarely “buy work” through discounting.
Profitability is not the reward for hard work, good intentions, or being a “good guy”.

Now, the good news:

Profitability is the reward for smart work. This means having good systems in place.

Trying to minimize costs is always a goal when tendering contracts. And too often, contractors focus solely on
price, adopting strategies and pricing that can kill the rewards of winning the contract. These tactics can go so far as to threaten the company’s financial health.

This breakfast presentation will focus first on how to be a smarter competitor in bidding situations and then on alternative strategies that will shelter you and your company from the price game, if not remove you from it all together. We will review:

Why estimation mistakes are made
Common bidding errors
12 specific tips for improving the estimation process
Bidding in the context of the overall sales process

Business Communication in Construction
2015-10-21 13:00 - 14:30 UTC | Vancouver Convention Centre – East Building, 999 Canada Pl, Vancouver , BC, V6C 3C1, Canada
Communication. It’s how deals get done, problems get solved, and relationships are formed. Customers want what they want, when they want, how they want and we know the way and the speed with which we communicate makes all the difference. It used to be you picked up a phone and gave them a call. Then we got used to email and 24/7 availability. Now you’re navigating the roads of cloud-based project and document management, customer relationship management software, not to mention social media. Join Bellrock as we unpack the most effective communication tools for the construction industry to help you keep your people connected, deliver the best possible service, and get more done every day.
