New Industry 911 System

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

Everything in the design and construction industry is going to be automated in the future - like Emergency 911… But for the design and construction industry, 1011.

”Thank you for calling 1011. If there has been a violent project argument with blood between contractors dial 1. If your team member is late and missing more than a two hours, dial 2. If the owner is being an obstinate jerk and you want him removed, dial 3. If you have fallen more than 30 ft. and are totally immobilized, dial 4 and somebody will probably be with you within a short period of time.”

There must be more categories! I’m thinking…..

Laughing at “Updating Software?”- Architects, Contractors, Engineers

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

TIP: Updating Software Strategy – If you don’t want to be laughed out of a new client meeting, don’t tell a new client your software is totally updated.Two-thirds of the public and private marketplace is obsessed with the need to update existing software. They expect you to be updating. They are laughing at their own obsession.

Additionally, this statement should be coupled with a strategy for entrée (new clients) and for getting more work on (existing clients). Strategically, offering new updated software that integrates to the client’s database would create a long-term benefit for both parties. The client would first have to come to you to find specific solutions.
