Industry future uncertain but hopeful says CH2M Hill CEO
Article Abstract:
CH2M Hill CEO Ralph Peterson believes that engineering and construction industries could still thrive in the 21st century despite rapid changes and developments. He claims that this is possible if companies are able to predict and adapt to change, and are willing to take risks. He further maintained that companies will be affected by four main factors such as international economic trends, privatization and new project delivery concepts, new business models and alliances, and sustainable development practices.
