Presented by Scott Butler, Management Consultant, CVG
Hosted by BQE Software - February 27, 2024 at 1pm ET
Small and mid-sized architecture firm leaders often fear becoming too “corporate” when faced with practices, systems, and policies used by big firms. But to get big, larger firms must be doing something right.
Join CVG to learn which large firm business practices are most applicable to smaller firms – and why. We’ll discuss how larger firms approach project delivery, strategy, business development, operations, and organization, and which aspects of these approaches might be instructive to smaller firms. Lastly, we’ll explore how this understanding creates opportunities for smaller firms to effectively compete, successfully differentiate themselves, and strategically partner.
This session will be led by Scott Butler, a Management Consultant at CVG with over 35 years of experience in senior leadership roles (including CEO, COO) at multiple architectural firms with up to $80M in revenue. Scott currently coaches small and mid-sized firms in CVG’s client base with a focus on scaling best practices to fit firms of every size.
By the end of this session, you will learn how to:
Examine the practices, policies, and processes utilized by Big Architecture Firms.
Determine what Big Firm practices could be or should not be applied in Smaller Architecture Firms to enhance their businesses.
Establish strategies to compete effectively with Large Architecture Firms on project pursuits and in recruiting staff.
Establish strategies to partner effectively with Big Architecture Firms to execute projects.
