Center for Architecture & Design | 1801 McGee St., Ste. 100 Kansas City, MO 64108 Map

Design U. 2022 will equip you with the key concepts and strategies to build your competence and your confidence as you navigate your career.  A three-part series for early career professionals, Design U.  is organized around the ‘trifecta’ of lifelong career success in architecture – career design, project team design, and firm design.  Jane Walton, business consultant, author, speaker and thinker shares her insights from working with architecture firms around the country for the past twenty years. She’ll introduce stories of successes and common pitfalls to avoid so you can manage your career with aplomb. These are three sessions you won’t want to miss! Sessions build on each other so attendance at all three is encouraged.

Session 3: The Design of a Successful Architecture Firm | November 1, 2022

To appreciate the world of architecture is to understand the dynamics of a successful firm. Practitioners must understand the business first, and then balance the tension between unbridled creative passion with the realities of the bottom line.

  • Clients - understanding individual client needs
  • Competition - standing out from the rest
  • Capabilities - assembling and managing a successful team

 

Register now; Seats are limited!

Sessions are designed for early career professionals.

Open to AIA Kansas City (AIA & Assoc. AIA) and NOMA-KC members only.  

These sessions build on each other so attendance at all three is encouraged.

 

ABOUT JANE |  JANE IS A THINKER.

Jane thinks business can be better designed. All too often business practices are overcomplicated or disorganized causing teams unnecessary confusion and fatigue. Jane thinks businesses can be designed to bring out the best in teams so at the end of day people leave work energized and not drained. Whether it be through her books, blogs, podcasts, speaking engagements or one-on-one insights, Jane brings creative solutions to everyday issues—allowing people to think about their business differently.

This program is made possible by a grant from Victor, the CNA Insurance Companies, and the AIA Trust, providers of the AIA Trust Professional Liability, Business Owners, and Cyber Liability Insurance Programs.
