User Documentation / Marketing / Profits
Kathy Sierra makes some great points in her post called "The Best User Manuals EVER" about how valuable people find documentation.
We discussed this previously in a post - Marketing Should Be Involved In Many Company Processes
If you are a contractor I encourage you to look at these articles with an open mind and think about how you could improve your project documentation such as proposals, pre-construction guidelines, submittals, as-builts, drawings, specifications, training, etc.
You would be suprised at how much of a difference minor improvements can make when it comes to both customer satisfaction, the "perception" of your company and profits.

Favorite Book 2007
The Toyota Way is my favorite book for 2007. It had so many good ideas that I could not keep up and ended up reading it again and even buying the Field Book to go along with it.
Download Elegant Solutions from Change This which provides some highlights of the Toyota Production System. Too many ideas that are applicable to contractors to even count!
