"Relationship IQ"
January 30, 2012 - New York, NY
McGraw-Hill Construction has launched Dodge BuildShare, a powerful
web-based diagnostic platform that identifies key relationships between
industry firms and connects them to the construction projects they have
worked on, delivering competitive market share analysis and driving
business growth. BuildShare’s digital dashboards analyze existing
relationships among over 250,000 active owners, contractors, and design
and engineering firms.
"In 2011, customers embraced Dodge BuildShare, working with us in the
development and implementation of the product. Today, Dodge BuildShare
customers are benefiting greatly, and I am excited about that," said
Keith Fox, president, McGraw-Hill Construction.
A visually dynamic and easy-to-use platform, BuildShare offers a
variety of reports and dashboards that push relationship intelligence
about active firms to the customer. It provides accurate and
comprehensive coverage of the construction market on a
project-by-project basis, allowing for segmentation by type, size and
location. Architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) customers can
uniquely profile competitors by sector and region to quickly assess
market position and take action to gain market share.
"The winners in this economic climate are savvy firms that understand
the need for superior market intelligence, including in-depth knowledge
of the connections among the active owners and AEC firms responsible
for projects," said Fox. "Dodge BuildShare-empowered firms have a
stronger ‘relationship IQ’ and ability to target and win business where
the opportunities are strongest. The depth and breadth of our Dodge
data, coupled with our knowledge of the industry and advanced business
intelligence platforms, enable us to bring this relationship
game-changer to market."
BuildShare draws from McGraw-Hill Construction’s robust, qualified
and continuously updated Dodge construction project data to deliver
actionable intelligence on active owners to general contractors,
construction management firms, engineers and architects. Customized
market share and relationship metrics by owner, AEC firm, region, and
construction sector enable firms to better prioritize business
development initiatives. BuildShare’s market-sizing feature delivers a
quarterly forecast of construction activity related to regional and
project type opportunities.

Call Essien "Sir" Zambia coachSoccer News of Monday, 9 September 2013
Source: ghanasoccernet.com
 
Zambia coach Herve Renard has paid glowing
tributes to Ghana midfielder Michael Essien – saying the Chelsea ace
ought to be called ‘Sir’ for his sterling performances over the years.
The 30-year-old hugely impressed after coming on as a second half
substitute to help the Black Stars to a 2-1 win over Zambia who had
Herve – a former Ghana assistant coach – on their bench last Friday.
Essien was making his first appearance for the Black Stars after a two-year hiatus from international football.
Contrary to what many believed – that the former Lyon enforcer had lost
a chunk of his energy in recent years and would struggle against the
swift Zambians,
Essien went on to have probably one of his finest games for both club and country in recent times.
The composed and matured performance of the ex Real Madrid stabilized
the rocking Ghana midfield at the time the Chipolopolo were well on top
in Friday’s World Cup qualifier.
Zambia coach Herve Renard now says his team would have been better off
had Essien continued with his international break while suggesting the
Chelsea ace should be knighted and called ‘sir’.
“I don’t have a lot of experience, but I never coach or trained with a
fantastic player like him [Essien],” he told GHANAsoccernet.com.
“During my time in Ghana I realized why some players are different. Essien was an amazing player and a great man.
“I think we have to call him ‘sir’. It would have been better for us if he was in London [with laughs].”
Essien will again be key to Ghana going into the playoff stage of the 2014 World Cup qualifiers.
The Black Stars will head into a CAF draw on September 16 to determine
its playoff opponent in the qualifiers for next year’s World Cup in
Brazil.
