CUTV News Radio spotlights Jessica Hickey of 1029 Consulting

Lynwood, WA – 10:29am is about the time busy people will look up from their desk and think, "How am I going to get all my work done?"

Jessica Hickey is the founder of 1029 Consulting, where she helps organizations in the architecture, engineering and construction industries to invest their resources, both time and money, more wisely.

“What I do is give people time back in their schedules. They're too busy to build the business. I can be a spare brain and a spare pair of hands.”

Hickey possesses a background in engineering and spent years as a project manager on commercial building, highway and bridge projects.

“Architects, engineers and contractors are craftsmen. They're smart. They're funny. They're crusty, too, some of them,” says Hickey. “It's an industry I know well but also an industry where net profit is hard to come by.”

Hickey says success begins with people and processes. Are you hiring the right people for the right work? Are your processes in place?”

“Business is a little bit like sailing a boat,” says Hickey. “And you've got to know where you're going, you have to set a course to get there and you're always correcting. even if you're successful now, how can we get even more success?

Hickey has developed her own five languages of business: Vision, Finance, Execution, Change, Strategy. The languages can be found in Hickey’s book Stop Pushing String.

“It's a book about helping people think about communicating decision information differently so that it's easier for the decision-maker to absorb it and make the decision,” says Hickey.
