The Power of Time Management:
Balancing Projects, Profitability & Life in the AE World
Part 1 of the ‘Blueprint for Success’ Masterclass Series
Available on demand
In AE practices, time is money. Without proper tracking and allocation of your team’s time, there is no way to understand and manage profitability on your projects. In this foundational session, Douglas Teiger, FAIA, Founder of Teiger Consulting and former managing partner of his own architectural firm for 30-plus years, shows you how to execute advanced time management strategies, including budgeting time to align with project activities rather than just traditional phases, and analyzing the impact of non-billable time on firm profitability. He will also review proven tactics that he uses for his own schedule, like tracking time via buckets, implementing calendar blocking, and creating a realistic, harmonic work-life balance.
By the end of this session, you will learn how to:
1
Budget time based on the core activities of a project rather than traditional phases, ensuring precise resource allocation
2
Budget non-billable time to gain valuable insights into its impact on your firm's profitability
3
Increase work efficiency through calendar blocking, allowing you to accomplish more in less time
4
Integrate a work-life balance seamlessly into your demanding schedule, nurturing both your professional and personal growth
