SUMMARY:The Winner’s Curse
DESCRIPTION:What is the winner’s curse? Whoever makes the biggest estimating mistake wins the job. First\, the bad news:\n\nSuccessful companies rarely “buy work” through discounting.\nProfitability is not the reward for hard work\, good intentions\, or being a “good guy”.\n\nNow\, the good news:\n\nProfitability is the reward for smart work. This means having good systems in place.\n\nTrying to minimize costs is always a goal when tendering contracts. And too often\, contractors focus solely on\nprice\, 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.\n\nThis 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:\n\nWhy estimation mistakes are made\nCommon bidding errors\n12 specific tips for improving the estimation process\nBidding in the context of the overall sales process

SUMMARY:Business Communication in Construction
DESCRIPTION: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.

SUMMARY:The President’s Job Description
DESCRIPTION:Did you wake up one day and realize that your company had gotten far bigger than you ever imagined? There were more bills to pay\, staff to keep busy and less time for you to spend on what you’d always done best – your trade. This evolution is the rule far more than the exception as many small business owners get propelled into managing a workforce rather than working alongside them as their business grows.\n\nThis workshop is intended for presidents/CEOs who seek to clarify that being bigger does not equal just doing more; but it does mean doing things differently. Leading a team of senior managers and a growing business is a very different job than managing a project. The problem is that few presidents learn how to capitalize on these differences other than through trial-and-error resulting in some expensive learning! \nThis workshop will focus determining what the key priorities are for a president as well as developing a plan to get these in place. \nThe workshop will cover: \n\nThe difference between management and leadership and how it applies in a contractor / construction business\nThe role of the President & CEO\nThe role of senior managers\nBest practice tips to move out of the jobsite and into the office\n\nParticipants will improve their understanding of what the most successful CEOs\, Presidents and Managers spend their time on and practical techniques to extract themselves from the day to day operations and move into this top level role full time.

SUMMARY:Strategic and Tactical Marketing Plans
DESCRIPTION:Unsure whether your investment in marketing is contributing to the bottom line? Marketing has strategic and tactical elements\, but often in the construction and property management fields\, the tasks of marketing get relegated to the tactics – tradeshows\, websites\, and brochure creation. Results become difficult to measure and companies are left wondering whether the line item for marketing on the P&L is generating the best return on investment.\n\nThe session will work through the basic elements of marketing strategy and explain how senior managers in the most successful companies chart the strategic marketing path of their firms. \nIt will also explore how this strategy can be turned into a tactical plan\, simply delegated\, with measurable results. \nWho should attend: All levels of leadership and marketing professionals from the design\, building and real estate industry.

SUMMARY:20 Minutes To The Best Management Team
DESCRIPTION:What makes the best companies the best? Luck? Right time? Right place? Or is there more to it? The key to sustainable profit and results is a management team you can depend on freeing you to spend more time on strategic initiatives and business improvement. Imagine a company not constrained by your personal capacity. But how? \n  \nGreat companies have talented leaders that create highly effective leadership teams. They have figured out how to get the very best out of their people. These leaders know that one of their most important priorities is to make it happen. When you can be comfortable relying on your leadership team to take on more responsibility for the day-to-day operations of your business\, possibilities begin to multiply. Suddenly\, more time can be spent introducing a new service line; meeting with important prospects and clients; even taking that 3-week vacation you’ve always dreamed of – without your smart phone. \n  \nThere is a better way and it starts with 20 minutes a day. This one-hour seminar is for presidents and business owners who know the potential to better use their management team is there. The session will provide proven strategies to carve out more time for working on the business and less time in it. You’re good at what you do – maybe even great. Yet you know you can get better results. If you have ever said: \n\nIf I’ve told them once\, I’ve told them a thousand times…\nThe only way to get something done right is to do it myself…\nWhy doesn’t anyone else do what’s needed to make this business thrive?\n\n  \nThen this seminar is for you.

SUMMARY:ICBA: The Winner's Curse
DESCRIPTION:A systems approach to winning more work and increasing profits.  \nWhat is the winner’s curse? Whoever makes the biggest estimating mistake wins the job. First\, the bad news: \n\nSuccessful companies rarely “buy work” through discounting.\nProfitability is not the reward for hard work\, good intentions\, or being a “good guy”.\n\nNow\, the good news: \n\nProfitability is the reward for smart work. This means having good systems in place.\n\nTrying 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. We will review: \n\nWhy estimation mistakes are made\nCommon bidding errors\n12 specific tips for improving the estimation process\nBidding in the context of the overall sales process\n\nThis 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. \n*ICBA member discount price: $30 + GST/person

SUMMARY:ICBA: The President’s Job Description
DESCRIPTION:Did you wake up one day and realize that your company had gotten far bigger than you ever imagined? There were more bills to pay\, staff to keep busy and less time for you to spend on what you’d always done best – your trade. This evolution is the rule far more than the exception as many small business owners get propelled into managing a workforce rather than working alongside them as their business grows. \nThis breakfast workshop is intended for presidents who seek to clarify that being bigger does not equal just doing more; but it does mean doing things differently. Leading a team of senior managers and a growing business is a very different job than managing a project. The problem is that few presidents learn how to capitalize on these differences other than through trial-and-error resulting in some expensive learning! \nThis workshop will focus determining what the key priorities are for a president as well as developing a plan to get these in place. \nThe workshop will cover: \n\nThe difference between management and leadership and how it applies in a contractor / construction business\nThe role of the President & CEO\nThe role of senior managers\nBest practice tips to move out of the jobsite and into the office\n\nParticipants will improve their understanding of what the most successful CEOs\, Presidents and Managers spend their time on and practical techniques to extract themselves from the day to day operations and move into this top level role full time.

SUMMARY:APEGBC: Making the Case for the Business Case
DESCRIPTION:How to Improve Business Decision Making \nEngineers are regularly tasked with solving complex engineering problems for their clients. Identifying different alternate routes or products\, value engineering to optimize costs versus outcomes. But often times when it comes to making decisions about their own engineering firm\, the approach is ad‐hoc at best\, non‐existent at worse! Hence the need for the Business Case. \nThis session is geared toward providing a practical framework for business leaders to make informed decisions about business issues. Should we expand into a new territory or add a new service? What will be the upfront investment required to get this new opportunity off the ground and time before it pays the investment back versus taking those same funds and trying to capture more of our existing market with our existing services? How does risk and uncertainty play into each of these scenarios? Are there any deal‐breaker aspects that are required before even considering moving forward? \nThe seminar will look into each of the following key parts of the Business Case: \n\nIssue/opportunity definition\nWhat are we trying to solve/achieve?\nAnalysis of the issue/opportunity\nConstraints\, importance\, urgency\nGeneration of alternative options\nBrainstorm ideas\nFinancial & risk assessment\nQuantitative assessment\, ROI\, likelihood\nDecision criteria & assessment\nBasis for decision & scoring\nRecommendations & action plan\nPreferred choice & actions\n\nThis seminar will walk through a practical example of how to apply the rigour of using a business case to improve management decision making. Participants will receive a template and training on where and how to use the tool to fully think through and assess opportunities leading to better decisions and action plans. \nThis talk is part of the professional development sessions at the  2014 APEGBC Annual Conference. Specific location within the conference and time will be announced closer to the date.

SUMMARY:APEGBC: Benchmarking: Building the Foundation for Global Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Taking companies from where they are now\, to where they want to be. \nThe service sector represents 70% of the Canadian economy and our GDP is growing more slowly than almost any OECD nation. Is your company’s performance the very best it can be? Process benchmarking has a strong record of accomplishment. It identifies target areas to improve and assists business owners to prioritize by developing an implementable plan. At Bellrock\, every day we help to solve commonly held concerns of business leaders\, such as: \n\nThis company has so much potential\, but it’s not getting there fast enough.\nWe talk and talk\, but not enough gets done.\nI’m not ready to leave yet\, but I have to think about next steps.\nI made a lot more money when I was working on my own.\nI’d rather be golfing.\nMy competitors are starting to undercut my prices.\nIt’s not as much fun as it used to be.\n\nThis seminar will explore why process benchmarking gets results. It identifies the companies poised to gain the highest return from benchmarking analysis\, and also why it does not work in some environments. Participants will be exposed to the proven methodology Bellrock uses to uncover opportunities for improvement and how it develops implementable strategies to capitalize on them. \nThis talk is part of the professional development sessions at the  2014 APEGBC Annual Conference. Specific location within the conference and time will be announced closer to the date.

SUMMARY:BUILDEX Express: Strategic and Tactical Marketing Plans
DESCRIPTION:Unsure whether your marketing investment is contributing to the bottom line? Marketing has strategic and tactical elements\, but often in the construction and property management industries\, the task of marketing get relegated to the tactics – trade shows\, websites\, and brochure creation. Results become difficult to measure and companies are left wondering whether the line item for marketing on the P&L is generating the best return on investment. \nThe seminar will work through the basic elements of marketing strategy\, and explain how senior managers in the most successful companies chart the strategic marketing path of their firms. It will also explore how this strategy can be turned into a tactical plan – simply delegated\, with measurable results. \nThis seminar is designed as a primer for those in senior level management positions\, and those that want to be senior executives in construction and property management. If your company could benefit from more exposure there is no better way to spend 90 minutes.
