Financial Maturity Model Research Request
ELECTRI needs your help for the Financial Maturity Model research. This study was funded to help electrical contractors better understand, measure, and manage their financial performance through developing an interactive financial dashboard that will give contractors greater visibility into their business and project health.
Because electrical contractors use a variety of accounting systems, we want this research to be inclusive and representative of the entire industry. We are therefore inviting interested contractors to participate in this study.
Small focus groups will be formed, with each group consisting of contractors who use the same accounting system. Within each group, we aim to include contractors of different company sizes to ensure diverse perspectives. Focus groups are expected to meet once per month for approximately four months, and interim deliverables will be shared by email to collect feedback and validation between meetings.
Your company’s data will be treated with the utmost confidentiality, and you will choose what to share.
Our goal is to develop dashboards that are both usable and practical, supported by clear guidelines that benefit the entire electrical contracting industry.
If you are interested in contributing to this important effort, please complete this nomination form by December 5 to indicate your interest in participating in focus groups beginning in early December. Sign up here
