Arm yourself with market insight to make 2010 a successful year in spite of all the economic uncertainty
Prior to the economic crisis many are now referring to as the “Great Recession,” the AEC industry had experienced an era of unbridaled growth and prosperity. Many firms experienced broad-based growth without needing a whole lot of strategy, and times were good. However, the economic crisis that hit in the second half of 2008 meant that for an unfortunate many firms, 2009 was their last, and for thousands more, 2009 was a struggle at best. Even today, while the Dow has again crossed into 10,000-points territory, a lingering cloud of doubt hangs over the economy at large. Strategy has become one of the most important tools an AEC firm can employ to cope with the changing conditions.
Expectations for 2010 and beyond are not just uncertain, they are unprecedented as well. Will 2010 signal a return to the growth and prosperity of the mid-2000s, or will the economy continue to buck, shrink, and change at breakneck pace?
In these extraordinary times, AEC firm leaders need access to extraordinary insight and information about what to expect and how to handle the myriad of challenges currently facing them. Will the housing market improve, or will the sluggish recovery continue or worsen? Will the spillover effect from the housing crunch continue to infect additional nonresidential markets in 2010? Will banks ever get back to the business of lending money? Many analysts are saying that we’ll see marked improvement in all areas in the economy in 2010, but are they right? And how will improvements be felt in the AEC industry? How long will the recession last, how high will the unemployment rate rise, and when can AEC firm leaders expect to see a real, sustained improvement?
Knowing the answers to these questions can give your firm an edge on the competition. And you’ll find vast research and discussion of these and many other issues in the 2010 AEC Industry Outlook: Strategy and Insight for Design & Construction Firms, a new research report from ZweigWhite.
