Recently I had the pleasure of working with Norb Slowikowski, president of Slowikowski & Associates, on a webinar. Slowikowski has worked in the construction industry since 1982. He is a renowned productivity expert who has helped more than 300 contractors to improve their productivity to maximize their profitability. I invited Slowikowski to provide his expert insight on how contractors can get organized to increase their profitability. His full presentation can be found in the webinar series “Get Organized – Get Profitable.” Information on how to view the full webinars on-demand can be requested via the On Center Web site. The following are the highlights of Slowikowski’s profitability directives. This is the first in a two-part series on this topic.
