10 November 2021 – Virtual Conference

The dwindling number of cranes interspersed across our South African skyline speaks to the reality of the poor economic growth we are experiencing in the construction industry. We have fallen down a slippery slope exacerbated by a relentless, unyielding and fast-paced business environment. This monumental shift requires a change in leadership perception. Change is not easy, but the biggest threat is a businessperson fixated on past triumphs and traditional thinking. It is no longer business as usual.
