- It’s like having your own personal session with the #1 consultant for the A/E/P and environmental consulting industry.
Let’s face it—the A/E/P and environmental business just isn’t what it used to be. The old assumptions just don’t hold true. The old ways of doing things aren’t working. The people who can’t (or won’t) learn can no longer do their jobs. What’s up is supposed to be down. What’s down is supposed to be up. The entire industry is in flux and Mark Zweig for one believes it’s a good thing. - Old rule: Owners are the only ones that see firm financial information.
- New rule: It’s insulting not to give this information to your people. They’re smart and they are greatly impacted by it.
Out with the old and in with the new! The New Rules for Managing an A/E/P or Environmental Consulting Firm is your concise, one-hour video guide to the brave new world of managing a firm. The new rules for management were developed from experiences working with hundreds of the top U.S. architecture, engineering, planning, and environmental consulting firms. These aren’t just recommendations, they’re rules to live by if you expect to succeed in the coming years. - Old rule: Design firms should be organized in a matrix of technical discipline departments and project managers.
- New rule: Use standing, multi-discipline teams headed up by their own PM, each focused on a client type.
Fasten your seatbelts! The presenter in this video, Mark C. Zweig, has served as principal and manager of two ENR 500 firms, as a consultant to hundreds more—and as the president of his own successful organization. Join Mark on a funny and educational crash course on the changing rules in 24 different areas of management. - Old rule: At the end of the year, the principals gather together in the conference room and decide who gets how much bonus for the once a year bonus program.
- New rule: Formularize the entire bonus program and pay bonuses on a quarterly (or monthly) basis instead of once a year.
Business planning...marketing...organization structure...business valuation...ownership transition...recruiting...presentations...office space...employee benefits...workplace policies...You name it—if the rules are changing, Mark will tell you about it. He’s informative, he’s thought-provoking, and he’s entertaining. The future of your business is here and it’s in Mark’s video. - Old rule: It’s unethical to recruit people directly from our competitors.
- New rule: You have to recruit from competitors or you’ll never get anyone who can walk in and do the job.
Are you living in the past? In the old days, if you wanted coffee, you put change in the coffee jar. The only women in the industry were receptionists or secretaries. Everyone from the president to the drafters smoked at their desks, in their company cars, at meetings, during lunch, and just about everywhere else. No fax machines, no computers, no Internet access, no CADD. Well, if you long for those days, don’t buy this video, because the truth is, it’s not for everyone. If you don’t want to be challenged, if you want to live in the past, if you’re not ready to take on the job of managing your firm in a new millennium, cover your eyes! Because this video is going to blow all your old assumptions out of the water. The only question left is, which rules and ideas do you think will win out in the coming years? The old ones or the new ones? Order the video today! About the speaker Mark Zweig is a leading expert in management for the A/E/P and environmental consulting industries.
