LATISTA

The construction / engineering / architecture industries have struggled with productivity improvements since the pyramids.  If you look at the industries that are laggards in productivity improvements - construction is at the bottom of the list.  Integration of IT into operations - bottom.  Innovation - bottom.  New thinking on different ways to fix our national infrastructure problems - bottom.  The whole world is reading the New Testament and the construction industry is still locked into the Old Testament.

The good thing about the bottom is the only way to go is up.  Firms like LATISTA might make the path upward quicker and less painful.
