Technology & Innovation Practice
In 2019, EFCG expanded its services to include advisory services for technology and innovation strategy.
The Technology & Innovation Practice focuses on assisting enterprises with technical and business strategy at the intersection of information technologies and civil engineering, architecture, and construction practices. EFCG’s unique perspective is built on two decades of civil engineering practice, thought leadership, and business acumen, along with experience in forming, managing, and leading a pioneering technology/SaaS company.
The cornerstone of our client-focused approach is to provide trusted advice and strategy support directly to senior executives. EFCG works as a partner with clients to enhance their technology and innovation strategies. Our comprehensive services include evaluating existing frameworks, providing data-driven industry insights, conducting key stakeholder interviews, and leading strategic planning workshops. We assist in organizational design, team building, and market research, while also establishing performance metrics to measure technology ROI. We also sit alongside leaders during implementation to ensure success.
Using insights from EFCG’s CEO Database and Technology Leadership Conference, we guide AEC firms in comparing their technology strategies against peers by size, geography, and sector. This analytical approach enables strategic foresight and adaptive planning based on evolving industry trends. Moreover, we have pinpointed a suite of key technologies for benchmarking, enabling clients to gauge their adoption against current and future trends, thus maintaining a competitive edge in a dynamic market.
EFCG’s Quantitative Integration Analysis (QIA) is a suite of proprietary organizational network analyses tools used by our Technology & Innovation practice to help companies understand integration and value creation as never before. These tools enable companies to:
-

EFCG conducts organizational structure assessments of a firm’s executive level, function level, or firmwide. We benchmark the firm’s structure against comparative firms in the AEC Industry and advise their leadership on a future state structure to best support the firm’s ambitions. EFCG can then monitor the success and efficiency of the structure over time, using its Quantitative Integration Analysis (QIA) tool.
As a trusted partner to private equity and strategic investors, EFCG conducts in-depth technical due diligence in the AEC technology sector. We specifically leverage our long history at the intersection of engineering practice and information technology to deliver thorough and insightful analysis rooted in direct market experience.
EFCG supports firms in unlocking the value of innovation through the creation and ongoing support of internal innovation programs such as accelerators, labs, and competitions. These programs can motivate creativity, empower staff to unlock efficiency gains and grow revenue, drive positive workplace culture, and invigorate innovation within organizations. Our approach not only initiates these programs but also ensures their longevity and success through continuous engagement and support.
