Profit Motive & The Business of Design – The A+D Leader’s 101 of Firm Financial Management
Who deals with the money, and how? This session focuses on how finance, metrics, and performance influence an A+D practice’s well-being and its success moving forward, as well as the firm culture and bottom line.
Join SO|arch founder Elisabeth Sporer, AIA CIC, for a presentation on the benchmark metrics behind the business of design. Elisabeth will provide an overview of what performance data an A+D leader needs to measure and how – key performance indicators [KPIs] like overhead and break-even rates, staff target utilization rates, profitability, competitive hourly billing rates, backlog/billing forecasting, and staffing planning tied to financial performance. The presentation also highlights a project manager’s key performance indicators [KPIs], from staff utilization and billing forecasting to work and resource planning tied to financial performance.
