Why This Matters to Your Company
Focusing on near-term revenue and project objectives is understandable, particularly for front line sales and operations staff who have sales quotas and project deadlines to consider.

It is essential for company leadership to have clear line of sight to what is coming down the pike that represents Opportunities and Threats to your business. An old saying: You can either get on the bus or be run over by it. Or even better, have a voice and take part in driving the bus.

As a strategic leader, no one else in your organization is more suited to looking 3-5 years down the road. Nearly everyone else will be focused on the more tactical things you need them to crush.

Let Safer Buildings Coalition help carry the strategic load with you, provide insights, and give you a chance to have a voice. It is part of the value of membership, and it is worth a lot.
