Four Decades of Consulting: A Contractor’s View

Author(s): Hope Luhman; Eric Voigt

Year: 2016

Summary

Louis Berger has engaged in cultural and heritage resource management since the early 1980s. This long legacy of project successes, pitfalls, surprises, and minefields offers an interesting perspective of what works and what may not. As priorities and budgets rise and fall, new approaches meet with acceptance or resistance, leading to project streamlining or increased bottlenecks. Using project examples drawn from each decade, this paper explores consulting hits and misses and highlights the key lessons for better resource management in the future.
