Dexter + Chaney Offers White Paper, ‘3 of The Biggest Blunders in Sports History (and Construction Management)’

Uses famous pro-sports examples to address three critical workplace errors

SEATTLE, March 16, 2011: What do professional sports teams and construction companies have in common?

Plenty, according to Dexter + Chaney (www.dexterchaney.com), developer of Spectrum® Construction Software. Dexter + Chaney has developed a white paper, “3 of the Biggest Blunders in Sports History (and Construction Management),” designed to help construction companies avoid the workplace maladies that have led to historic mistakes in the sports world.

The cause of those famous slip-ups—bad information, communication breakdowns and poor teamwork—can have devastating consequences for the bottom line of a typical construction company. To learn from those teams’ mistakes, obtain the white paper by going to http://tinyurl.com/27beyyt, e-mailing info@dexterchaney.com or calling Dexter + Chaney at 800-875-1400.

“Construction companies share a lot in common with sports teams,” said John Chaney, Dexter + Chaney co-founder and president. “When things go wrong, it’s usually not for lack of good intentions or professional experience. It’s often because information isn’t available, communication isn’t fast or accurate, or team members disregard teamwork and forget that success often depends on factors beyond the level of an individual or team.”

Dexter + Chaney has reached into the annals of sports history to find examples of the consequences when professional basketball, baseball and football players and teams drop the ball—literally and figuratively. “We’re certain that construction executives will enjoy the stories, which are well-known to many sports fans,” said Chaney. “In the process, they can learn how to avoid the same types of blunders in their businesses.”

Chaney declined to reveal the famous sports stories to anyone who doesn’t obtain the white paper. “If I did that, I’d be a ‘goat’ around the office,” Chaney explained. “That’s a hint.”
