Are You Ready?
A version of the American Jobs Plan will be heading to the president’s desk sometime later this year with trillions of dollars going to improving and upgrading our infrastructure. The slicing of the plan will include federal and non-federal projects (state and local governments) for transportation, water, energy, building projects, communications (internet), and research and development.
Planning and positioning for a piece of the infrastructure pie will take vision, strategy, and focus to align your firm with talent and experience. While there are many unknowns still, the steps to prepare start now. The question to ask is, are you ready? Ready with a process to strategically pursue. Ready to attract and retain the right talent. Ready to deliver quality work.
GO can help you set your vision and strategy to get a piece of the pie for your firm. We’re here to help you be ready and WIN.
Ready to GO?
WHAT WE'RE ALL ABOUT
GO Strategies is all about looking at marketing, business development (BD), and human capital management with a creative bent. Asking “why not?” and “what if?” are big parts of our game. Just because you’ve “always done it that way,” doesn’t mean it will hold water tomorrow. And a changing world offers numerous opportunities, if you have the strategies to capture them.

Do you find yourself asking where do I start with business development? How do I even begin to formulate a strategy to get out there and talk to clients and teaming partners? Is there a way to measure my success and hard work doing business development? What can I start doing tomorrow, in terms of business development, to make a positive impact on my firm immediately? These are questions that a lot of A/E/C marketing and technical professionals ask themselves frequently.
It can be really confusing and downright scary. It’s easy to avoid what we don’t understand. Join us for an online conversation about the beginnings of Business Development. Come ready to be a little vulnerable, ready to admit what you don’t know, and ready to get some ideas on starting down the right path for you and your personal business development journey. Sometimes, it’s just a matter for finding the right starting point.
