With all the years of education and training to make us experts in our profession\, the skills needed to have a successful business were conveniently overlooked. This webinar will fill the void and provide you with the business management highlights that every firm needs to apply to achieve their full potential. In this session\, we will learn the fundamentals of all successful AE firms and provide the basis for making well-grounded business decisions. We will learn how firms can transition from being professionals providing services\, to highly tuned businesses that can identify the needs of the marketplace and create services and products that are appropriately priced and yield consistent and greater profits. Rather than seeking out new projects that merely build upon your current skills\, you will start from a business-thinking mindset\, where processes that are critical to building a thriving firm are examined and constituted in your firm. We will explore the importance of data within an architect firm and demonstrate how careful collection and interpretation can lead your firm into more exciting and profitable territory. There will be a Small Firm Exchange Forum following the webinar where participants can discuss SFX issues and share updates. \nregister now URL:https://aianjarchive.bytesizedigital.com/event/the-60-minute-mba-for-architects/ CATEGORIES:Small Firm Exchange END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240918T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240918T200000 DTSTAMP:20260405T205753 CREATED:20240826T134541Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240826T134724Z UID:30788-1726678800-1726689600@aianjarchive.bytesizedigital.com SUMMARY:AIA SOUTH & JERSEY SHORE MEMBERSHIP MEETING DESCRIPTION:Reading Time: < 1 minuteDATE: Wednesday\, September 18\, 2024 \nTIME:5 to 8 PM \nLOCATION: The Smithville Inn – 1 N.
