Creativity and Leadership: Unlocking the Power of Small Firms, Part 1
This workshop is an engaging opportunity for small firm practitioners to examine new ways to think about the art and science of running a practice in three segments—creativity, innovation, and leadership.
Architects are recognized for their creativity and leadership, but how many limit this talent to just the design process? Industry changes require architects to evolve and become resilient to stay in business and better provide services protecting our communities. Architects must adapt and employ ever-evolving best practices in every aspect of management, leadership, and service delivery. This lively workshop examines new ways to think about the art and science of running a practice. Part 1 focuses on creativity and how to use your creative faculties in every aspect of the business of running a firm.
