their existent construction alliance.<br />

• Explanation of the machine injection soil stabilization mitigation<br />

procedure.<br />

• Exploration into the theory of environmental effect of soil<br />

BUSINESS MANAGEMENT<br />

Culture Is Not Accidental:<br />

How To <strong>Build</strong> Your Culture<br />

On One Sheet Of Paper<br />

Thursday, 9:30 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. | Room 500<br />

Scott Beebe<br />

Founder & Head Coach | Business on Purpose<br />

The culture of your business is a DIRECT RESULT of the<br />

ingredients that you allow to enter into the building. Good<br />

ingredients equal good culture, and vice versa. Culture is<br />

more than ping pong tables and bean bag chairs. Culture is<br />

about relationships, connection, and communication.<br />

Culture will determine the joy that we find in running our<br />

business. We all want a great culture, and we know we have<br />

to work for it…but how? Most strategies include a crossyour-fingers<br />

approach.<br />

This fun and surprising workshop will remove the confusion<br />

around great culture and provide you with the action and<br />

clarity you need to build a culture that you are proud of and<br />

that all generations want to be a part of.<br />

Learning Objectives<br />

1. Clarify the elements of great culture, and identify<br />

distracting elements of bad culture so you can focus on<br />

the elements of great culture<br />

2. Walk away with a one page visual of building great culture<br />

in your business starting tomorrow<br />

3. Discover the motivation to stop wasting time and money<br />

on team outings and bonus plans that rarely move the<br />

needle<br />

Target Audience: Homebuilders, Remodelers, Contractors<br />
