Servicing clients and delivering projects are key to the success of an architectural practice, but attentive, ongoing practice management is equally important. Unfortunately, many architects neglect the sometimes complex day to day running of the business to focus on the more enticing aspects of architecture.
By popular demand, we have brought Robert Peake back to ACA Insight (now ACA CPD Webinars) with an updated presentation of his very successful “Business of Architecture” series originally delivered to our audience in 2015. Over this two-part webinar series, Rob will share the 10 principles required to build a successful, sustainable architectural practice. Rob will unpack and explain the complexities of business management, focusing on the main elements that make up an architectural business – people, strategy, business and financial management, brand, systems and delivery. Other areas of investigation will include risk management, marketing and communications and the all-important succession planning.
Part 1 of Business Foundations for Architecture wil cover: Purpose and Direction; Leadership; Team; Systems; and Project and Resource Management.
