The Firm of the Future: Big Picture Trends Shaping the Future of A/E Firms
Thursday, January 12, 2012
Heeding Yogi Berra's wisdom that "It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future," nothing is more important to the leadership of architecture and engineering firms in these tumultuous times than stepping back from the day-to-day struggle, scanning the horizon, and taking in the big picture.
In this AE best practice webinar, Ray Kogan will examine eight "megatrends" that are profoundly influencing what successful AE firms will look like in the future including:
- Demographics; the most powerful and pervasive of all forces
- Projects; the beginning of a wave of sweeping changes in project delivery
- People; the impending quantity and quality labor shortage as well as generational differences
- Transitions; both leadership and ownership that will challenge firms far into the future
Ray Kogan is the president of Kogan & Company, specializing in strategic planning and management consulting for design and construction firms. He brings 35 years of experience in the practice, marketing, and management of architecture, engineering, and construction services, including his work with many leading firms in the industry. Ray has worked with more than 100 architecture and engineering firms in the development of their strategic plans.
Ray co-authored Strategic Planning for Design Firms, a book published by Kaplan AEC in April, 2007. His other major publications include the ZweigWhite Insider's Guide to Strategic Planning, for which he was the primary author, and the SMPS Core Series Marketing Information Report, "Market Research: Intelligence For Your Firm's Future." He has also written articles on management and marketing issues which have appeared in professional and trade publications, including those of ACEC, PSMA, and SMPS.
