A few years ago, Mortenson's own leadership group told them they were treating innovation "kind of like a hobby".
This year they're No. 10 on ENR's Top 400, running a 90,000 sq ft R&D facility and about to launch a joint venture with Goldbeck.
So we asked Gene Hodge, their VP of I4 and Innovation, how he proves the ROI on all of it:
"I think anyone asking what's the ROI on innovation is not interested in innovating, most likely."
CFOs, we'd love to hear you push back on this one.
