Strategy – The Smart Architect

HOME / GROWTH STRATEGY

The first step to growth and value intervention is always strategy. Today we have more architects per state than we had a decade ago. As the economic growth slows and the number of architects rises, competition for projects will ramp up. To counter high competition, you’ll need a rock-solid strategy for your architecture firm. Firms without a strategic plan will get left behind, and those with plans will rocket ahead and grow in the coming years. With The Smart Architect, you get an implementable strategy document, all ready to take your firm to greater heights.

Workshop facilitators

Our senior consultants have decades of experience facilitating strategy workshops. There is often a tendency during a strategic planning workshop to wander away from the topic of discussion.

A skilled strategy workshop facilitator ensures that participants are led back to the central topic, while at the same time allowing space to explore and develop new ideas. Our facilitators have the experience to help you develop and structure your ideas to create a Strategy Plan that will succeed.

At the end of the workshop, architects clearly understand the health of each of their departments and the interconnectedness between them. The Strategy document lays out the direction and tangible actions that have to be undertaken to reach the defined goals.

” Change is not a threat, it’s an opportunity. Survival is not the goal, transformative success is.”
-Seth Godin
