Follow the Cash - Executive Power Hour
Where high-performing construction executives find speed, efficiency, and hidden profit.
Cashflow is the lifeblood of a business and fuel needed for growth. We’ll unpack where it breaks down, how firms are managing it differently, what practical levers exist today, and where technology fits.
Construction leaders talk about growth — but the firms that scale fastest focus on cash velocity.
Join an intimate, invite-only session unpacking where cash really moves through a construction business — and where it quietly gets stuck, delayed, or lost.
Many executives assume their cash flow is “under control,” but that assumption can quietly cap margin, growth, and resilience. This strategic conversation is designed for leaders who want clarity, speed, and control over their cash and operations.
This is a collaborative, actionable forum for executives seeking clarity, speed, and control.
