Know This! Megatrends Impacting the Design & Construction Industry.

Design and construction firm leaders need to continually scan their environments to uncover trends that will impact their vertical markets, their clients, and their firms directly. This program will cover many of the trends or potential trends that are currently affecting design and construction firms - or are coming in the near future. This presentation captures more than two dozen of these megatrends and interprets them for A/E/C professionals and has been delivered as a conference keynote presentation for several organizations.

Learning Objectives:

1. Attendees recognize the megatrends that will impact their firms and their clients.
2. Attendees will evaluate which trends will be the most disruptive, and identify corrective actions to take.
3. Attendees will incorporate environmental scanning into their firm administration program to stay abreast of economic and business trends.
4. Attendees will interpret megatrends and incorporate this knowledge to differentiate their firms and gain a competitive edge.
