Corporate Universities

FMI provides construction firms with the foundation, structure, and tools necessary to build strategic alignment between employee development initiatives and marketplace needs. Traditionally, construction companies view training as an expensive solution that is implemented to fix problems. Clients will benefit through the development of a customized comprehensive learning infrastructure that is positioned as a central force within their business. This proactive approach of tying training to strategy will enable the firm to achieve superior levels of performance necessary to dominate the competition.

The impact of the learning infrastructure will vary depending on the unique goals and subsequent charter of each participating firm. Sample benefits include:

  • Increased revenue and decreased operating costs
  • Improved owner satisfaction/repeat business
  • Improved quality and associated profit and value
  • Increased on-time and on-budget construction projects
  • Improved employee satisfaction/morale and related productivity gains
  • Reduced employee turnover and associated costs
  • Differentiated services relative to competition

Learning Infrastructure Development and Operation

FMI uses the following methodology to establish organization-wide learning goals and detailed action plans to serve the organization by ensuring that all employees are developing the skills and knowledge necessary to achieve their goals.

  1. Charter – The process of creating the learning architecture begins with building executive alignment and identifying ways in which performance improvement can lead to the attainment of specific organizational goals.

  2. Phase One Implementation – This phase includes the initial launch of learning infrastructure, implementation of learning architecture, creation of delivery mechanisms, creation of top priority courses, engaging third-party vendors, company-wide marketing, and branding of programs.

  3. Phase Two Implementation – This phase includes ongoing development and measurement. Every element of Phase One implementation is evaluated to determine the level of successful achievement of Charter objectives.

  4. Maintenance – FMI serves as an advisor, develops newly defined courses, and analyzes and recommends responses to previously unknown business and strategic needs.

  5. Audit – FMI works with firms with existing and new learning infrastructures as an outside audit group, and ensures that organizations are following the right process and are obtaining the results that they seek.
