"We are allowed more freedom to be innovative and creative in
the private sector. At this point, we have very little need to look
outside the private sector."

have very little need to look outside the private sector," he says.
JB&B addressed diversification challenges by adopting a
broad project portfolio that spans industries, Simpler notes.
With a highly flexible framework and internal expertise across
various sectors, it can pivot quickly and adapt to the ebbs and
flows of industries and the overall economy.
"When one market is hot, another often is not. It is not a
significant issue if you are able to adapt," Simpler says, adding
that the public portion of his firm's portfolio is mostly focused
on universities and educational institutions. "They often do not
want to compete against the commercial market. They wait for a
more opportunistic time-such as a downturn-and then make
their move," he says.
Although many firms prefer to operate in the private sector,
Kogan considers it unwise to automatically write off public
sector work. This ultimately means understanding how to best
position a firm in each marketplace.
"The key is to deal with the cyclicality and volatility that exists
in today's business environment," Kogan says. This means establishing a strategic plan. "Once you know your target markets,
you can begin to build a business that is much more in sync
with the marketplace."
A PROPER PUBLIC/PRIVATE BALANCE
The path of least resistance can prove alluring. Engineering firms
often gravitate toward work that is comfortable and lucrative,
according to Kogan. Yet, the short-term gains may be offset by
long-term volatility and risk.
