Creating a Performance-focused Studio Culture

Date:  28 March 2019
Time:  6.30-8.30pm
Venue: Build Studios
Ticket: £75 + VAT
Lecturer: Sue Austin, Sue Austin Consulting

Do you feel like you are the only person focussing on performance in your practice? Do you wish your team took more accountability for their work?
Once a practice has grown by more than a few team members, it becomes much harder to maintain oversight and control of business performance. To address this, the practice owner needs to empower greater employee ownership for results and establish more rigour in how work is delivered.

​This talk is kindly hosted by Build Studios.

Associates' Club 2019

A new training programme with a series of business skills courses and discussions specifically designed for the essential role of the Associates in the practice.

"Leading people and teams, managing project and client priorities, and being the key people between directors and the rest of the studio requires sound leadership skills, knowledge and judgement.
