This class will introduce the audience to the application of<br />
ionic soil stabilization mitigation administered via machine<br />
injections. Our audience will gain an understanding of how<br />
stabilization mitigation processes compare in project budget<br />
and timelines, followed by a description of supplementing<br />
services and scope of work Universal Injections, Inc offers<br />
our clients. By the end of this discussion, our goal is to have<br />
advanced the audiences’ education in mitigation abilities of<br />

to benefit contractors and homeowners, in conjunction with<br />
their existent construction alliance.<br />

techniques? (i.e. financial and time duration comparisons of<br />
select fill, moisture conditioning, and soil injection)<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 />
