The Greenway Group
  • 01/01/07 2007 Unfolding: Mastering the Future New, quite simply superior, project integration strategies and processes will be coming into full view in 2007. And with talent in short supply, those with scarce skills and intelligent strategies will be significantly redefining the design professions and influencing the entire real estate economy. James P. Cramer
