​

How can leaders create a culture that elevates their team’s creativity and design quality to achieve business growth?
Industry-leading practices apply strategic approaches to managing people, finances, and operations. Where talent is the main competitive resource of an architectural firm, culture plays an important role in a practice’s morale, productivity, and creative potential.
This program will prepare participants to be successful team and business leaders in their firms. It will help them recognize and nurture leadership skills within their teams to build a strong culture, and achieve strategic goals.
The goal of this session is to provide participants with actionable knowledge to:
  • Increase a studio’s capacity for design innovation and quality
  • Recognize and develop individual talent and build strong teams
  • Build a studio’s talent and culture to develop competitive advantage
