In the last six months, I've seen three doctors for minor issues.

Three doctors. Three different minor ailments.

All three suggested over-the-counter treatments, and I agreed with their advice.

One treatment involves using a small machine several times a week. Even with insurance, I still pay $50 out of pocket each month.💰

Despite paying for the device every month, I still haven’t used it.

Maybe I’m just too lazy to set it up. I could easily use it while watching videos or TV, and the treatment doesn’t hurt at all.

The box just sits there collecting dust.

I keep it out where I can see it to remind myself, but even then, I keep paying $50 a month without using it.

These employees end up complaining about delays, coworkers, or subcontractors. They stay stuck, waiting for things to improve...

What if you saw training differently?

Successful A/E/C firms that capture pursuits face and embrace workplace training data. 📈

They don't make excuses about budgets, limited time, or keeping training in-house: 

• Nearly 50 percent of managers with 10 or more years of experience report having received a total of only nine hours of training.
• Almost 45 percent of managers who have been in their role for less than a year haven't had any training.

Research from Lorman shows that internal programs may save your firm money in the short term, but the benefits are limited.

To scale and narrow talent gaps, proactive firms are willing to invest in external training.

A/E/C executives must be open-minded and know that scalability is intertwined with today's business development and communication skills.
