Our July B/A/D Talk proved to be so remarkably lively and engaged that it was clear our community could benefit from further discussion of the topic. So for this next talk, we’ll be trying out a special format. One major perspective that was missing from the July session was the client’s voice; on November 10 we will therefore have two prominent client representatives on hand to field audience questions, comments, and suggestions in an “open mic” format. It’s clear that almost everyone in our industry is eager to find a better model for assembling teams and pricing design and construction projects—in this session we’ll attempt, as a group, to hammer out a real, workable, and cost-effective solution.
