In the AE world, great project managers are sometimes underappreciated and overlooked. While they may not be the ones designing the buildings or producing drawings, they are the linchpin that holds the entire project together. It's a role that demands a unique skill set and finesse. However, for many AE firms, proper training and mentorship for project managers are often lacking.
In this transformative course, Douglas Teiger, FAIA, a former managing partner at his own firm for 30 years and Founder of Teiger Consulting, gives an overview of the skillset and training necessary for firm leaders to hire and effectively nurture project managers. By the end of this session, you'll possess the knowledge and tools to elevate your project management practices and drive excellence in your firm's project profitability.
