Master the Business of A&E Practice
About the series
Most architects and engineers step into leadership without ever receiving formal business training. The pressure to make the right financial, strategic, and operational decisions is real, yet the guidance is often missing. That gap leaves even the most talented professionals unsure whether their firms are performing as well as they could.
The A&E MBA Series was created to give you that guidance. Across twelve focused, 60-minute sessions, a lineup of guest speakers — each with an MBA and deep A/E industry experience — will break down essential business concepts into clear, practical tools you can apply immediately. You’ll learn how firms create value, how market forces shape opportunity, and how internal decisions influence project, team, and firm performance.
This is your path to move from uncertainty to confidence, with a stronger grasp of the business systems that support profitable, resilient practice.
