Design Firm Leadership
Assessment
We will spend time with you and your staff to understand the vision and mission of your business and will assess the success of your execution of its policies and procedures. The assessment is the first step in improvement and establishment of best practices that fit your vision and mission.
If you have not developed either or both of these important planning elements we can assist you in developing them.
Planning
Both business and strategic plan development to fulfill your vision and mission. We can assist you personally or facilitate a planning process that involves a broader universe of participants.
Organization
We are familiar with a variety of organizational solutions that can satisfy the planning objectives of design professional firms. We can assist you in establishing, modifying or improving your organization structure to maximize your opportunities for success.
Operations
We know both the support services and professional services sides of operating a design professional firm. We can assist you in becoming a process driven learning organization that makes optimum use of your available personnel assets and identifies potential expansion of them.
Risk Management
Although we are not lawyers we have extensive experience with the agreements and related documents used in the AEC industry. As your consultant we can provide training to your staff on the use of these documents to appropriately align your risk with your responsibilities and compensation. We also provide coaching for Principals seeking peer input to assist their
decision process.
Training/Mentoring
We have extensive award winning experience in developing and presenting comprehensive training programs for design professional firms. We have presented successful seminar and workshop programs nationwide for professional organizations such as AIA, CSI, PSMA, SMPS, CFMA, AGC, ACEC, Boston Society of Architects and other professional organizations.
