Listen "Mancini Duffy: How to Reinvent a 105-Year-Old Design Firm (w/ Christian Giordano, Bolanle Williams-Olley )"
Episode Synopsis
A technology-first firm is not one that merely uses the latest technology in their practice. It’s a firm that leverages that technology to allow collaboration in the sketching process all the way through a 3D experience. It’s having designers, project managers, technical architects, and software developers all working together to make things happen in tandem and instantaneously. Mancini Duffy is a firm that takes that collaboration seriously. In this Best Practice webinar, President Christian Giordano and CFO Bolanle Williams-Olley explain how that collaboration works through everything the firm does, including how they support their employees.Interview TakeawaysCreate a collaborative environmentCarry tech into the construction processMeet client expectationsHave a unique selling pointBond with your team to be a good leaderBring in changes graduallyFocus on revenue before optional thingsIncrease efficiency and salariesOffer vacation stipends and flexible hoursAsk for what you want in a firmFind a staffing procedure that works for your firmLook at things as you go and at the endShow LinksConnect with Christian Giordano on LinkedIn or TwitterConnect with Bolanle Williams-Olley on LinkedIn or TwitterCheck out Mancini DuffyConnect with Chris Morgan on LinkedIn Check out MonographFollow Monograph on LinkedIn or InstagramListen and about Monograph
