Attendees listened to specific steps they can take to begin impacting their career. Whether you are expanding your practice, preparing for succession, or determining your lasting professional legacy, there are tangible ways to guide that process.
This panel featured 3 speakers that represent a broad spectrum of firms, each with their own role/definition of success within the practice of architecture. The three types of firms that were represented included a young boutique design firm/studio, a legacy firm and a very large multidisciplinary firm, made up of many successful firms of their own right, come together as one. What are the values/missions of each of these firms, How are each of these firms shaping the trends in the practice? How is success measured by each of these firms?
