Improving Risk in the Construction Industry
Analyst Insight: Construction projects are filled with certain risks, ranging from occupational risk to construction defects and property damage to general liability. Many firms have difficulty managing these risks on an ongoing basis, and others find measuring a project’s overall risk performance impossible. Using technology to manage risk is key to mitigating any issues that might arise.
Surviving the Reality of Global Trade
Analyst Insight: Never have tariffs held such a prominent place in the day-to-day global operations of businesses. The current U.S. administration has levied millions of dollars of tariffs on U.S. businesses, regardless of size. As a result, any company that imports or exports is experiencing increased costs to make, move or sell their products. And companies are making significant investments in their global supply chains to mitigate the collateral damage that the trade wars are wreaking.
