Management for the New Market Reality
Challenging market conditions require discipline and attention to detail that is frequently missing from development teams, from land acquisition feasiblity and analysis through design, construction, finance and marketing. Since the mid-1990's, the real estate market was strong and profits were soaring. Many managers stopped counting every dollar and worrying about every day lost from a schedule. Buyers and tenants were lining up to pay ever-higher prices, and marketing teams became order takers. Project managers lost their focus and discipline, and many executives were running development teams that had never experienced the type of detail-oriented, disciplined management required when markets are weak or hyper-competitive, margins are thin, and options for repositioning are the order of the day. The Simmons Group is here to help!
Challenging markets demand disciplined management.
