Vision on multiple devices One point the speakers were keen to make clear is that innovation is happening in a big way right here in Australia. We don’t have to wait for things to happen overseas, and can instead get ahead of the game and start taking advantage of the innovation shift happening locally.
The Business of Architecture The business of running an architectural practice requires ongoing focus from business leaders, yet is often neglected in the process of servicing clients and delivering projects. Management for Design addressed these issues in a series of monthly webinars for the Association of Consulting Architects. Rob Peake investigated the main elements that make up an architectural business. Looking at people, strategy, business and financial management, legal, brand, systems and delivery, Rob simplified the complexities of business management. The webinars were presented as a 3 part series — we covered the first two foundations to building a successful architecture practice in the Spring issue of this eMag and the third and fourth foundations in the Summer issue earlier this year. We’ll continue to deliver content from the webinars throughout the year, encouraging business leaders to take a closer look at the foundations of their businesses and to implement some of these insights on an ongoing basis. Links to the webinar slides are available at the end of this article.
