💼 The GC Toolbox Being General Counsel isn’t for the faint of heart. Every day brings a mix of strategy, fire drills, and “just a quick question” emails that aren’t quick at all. If we had to pack a GC Toolbox, here’s what we’d include: ☕ Caffeine – Because every crisis somehow lands at 4:59 PM. 📅 Prioritization Superpowers – Knowing which fires to actually put out first. 📜 A Clear Playbook – Policies and processes that save your future self. 🧠 Perspective – Balancing risk with what’s actually reasonable for the business. 🧍♀️ A Trusted Partner (or Fractional GC) – So you’re not carrying the load alone. The modern GC role is about more than legal advice, it’s about leadership, collaboration, and calm under pressure. What would you add to your GC toolbox? #GeneralCounsel #InHouseCounsel #LegalLeadership #FractionalGC #CorporateLaw #CEOLaw

Just received my copy of Matthew Hallowell’s latest book—and I couldn’t be more excited to dive in! Hallowell’s work has long been a cornerstone in the field of construction safety and risk management, and this new release is no exception. The book explores cutting-edge strategies for preventing serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs), drawing on years of research, fieldwork, and collaboration with industry leaders. It’s not just theory—it’s a practical roadmap for transforming how we think about and manage high-risk work. What makes this book so important is its focus on predictive prevention. Instead of reacting to incidents, Hallowell equips safety professionals with tools to identify precursors and intervene before harm occurs. In a world where every injury is one too many, this kind of insight is invaluable. If you’re passionate about safety, human performance, or operational excellence, this is a must-read. Looking forward to sharing key takeaways as I go!

🚧 7 Pillars focus area, Communication and Collaboration 🚧 Most #SpecialtyContractors lose efficiency not because their people do not care, but because information 📲 never reaches the right hands at the right time. Crews guess, project managers chase updates, and leadership learns about issues days after they happen. The result is rework, frustration, and eroded trust between the field and the office. 👉 The gap is unified communication tied to project context. #OpenBuild eliminates the noise by connecting every message, document, and update directly to tasks, budgets, and schedules. Field notes become structured data, RFIs and photos live inside the job record, and leadership can see the true project pulse without waiting for reactionary reports. This is not about another chat app or workflow tool. It is about clarity that drives 🚖accountability and faster decisions. When everyone speaks the same language of data, work accelerates and mistakes shrink. If your teams still rely on text threads and spreadsheets 📊 to stay aligned, it is time for a better way. DM me to benchmark your current state against the 7 Pillars.

👷♂️ 7 Pillars focus area, Field Data and Visibility 👷♂️ Most #SpecialtyContractors do not lose profit in the bid room; they lose it in the field when information arrives too late to act, think rear view mirror. Crews finish work, reports lag by days, and leadership reviews numbers that describe history instead of reality. The result is reactive decisions and shrinking margins. 📉 👉 The gap is real time visibility that connects field activity with cost, schedule, and cash. #OpenBuild captures daily progress, labor, and materials as work happens, syncing instantly to budgets and forecasts. 🧑💼 Leaders see productivity trends (in real time) before they become issues, project managers track percent complete with confidence, and accounting stays aligned with operations. It is not about more reporting. It is about faster truth. When data flows in real time, teams stop guessing and start guiding. If your field updates are still collected by text, photo, or email, you are already behind - you are losing margin! 💸 Request our book, "7 Pillars for Contractor Efficiency" here: https://lnkd.in/gwSuXaRx #OpenBuild #ConstructionEfficiency #ProjectControls #SpecialtyContractors #ProcessAutomation

🚧 7 Pillars focus area #4: Change Management. Margins don’t erode at the bid table—they leak when changes hit the jobsite. Most specialty contractors still chase approvals with emails, handwritten tickets, or spreadsheets. By the time pricing is entered and signed off, crews have already moved on and costs are buried in the job. 🥇 The gap: manual processes turn legitimate change work into write‑offs. 💸 PMs and executives are left guessing how much is recoverable and whether it will be billed on time—or at all. Runding’s OpenBuild automates the entire change cycle. Intake forms capture scope clearly, workflows route approvals instantly, pricing connects to cost codes, and field notes sync in real time. That means visibility into pending exposure, faster billing, and fewer disputes with GCs and owners. Contractors 👷 running manual change management are essentially financing someone else’s project. Those who automate turn risk into revenue. Curious how your process stacks up?

Mentoring and coaching top every performance review wish list, yet remain the promises most consistently broken by firms who'd rather promote people than develop them. The result is a generation of commercially responsible professionals who haven't fully developed the skills they need to succeed - then everyone acts surprised when expensive mistakes follow.

7️⃣ 7 Pillars focus area, Resource Planning and Labor Productivity 7️⃣ Many #SpecialtyContractors treat manpower planning as an Excel spreadsheet 📊 exercise when in reality it is the engine of #ProjectDelivery. Labor is your largest cost and often the least predictable. Your crews bounce between jobs, hours get coded late, and forecasts drift. The result is missed commitments, compressed schedules, and eroded #ProfitMargin. The gap is real-time labor visibility. #OpenBuild connects estimating, scheduling, and field tracking so every foreman and project manager sees planned versus actual performance daily. Your #LaborPlans update automatically from time capture and production data. Supervisors get proactive alerts when work trends off target. Executives 👩💼 see which crews deliver, which ones need support, and where capacity opens up next week. 👉 Teams that forecast labor like they forecast cash flow build a competitive edge. Predictable output, consistent margin, stronger trust with GCs.
