■ Do you receive the information you need to make timely, informed decisions? Ask whether your reporting processes give you actionable insights on operations, clients, and projects – when you actually need them. ■ Are your systems and people aligned with your goals? Think about whether your team and tools are working well together. Is your labor utilization rate where it should be? Is your markup aligned with your value? ■ What’s the cost of inefficiency? Outdated systems and a lack of timely project data can create costly delays and misalignment – how much could you be losing? ■ What’s the true cost of making improvements – and what’s the potential return?
