Challenging Our Assumptions About Business
On September 23, 2000, Lazarus Consulting Group, Inc. presented the seminar "Challenging Our Assumptions About Business" to the alumni of the University of Tennessee School of Architecture, who were celebrating Homecoming and the 35th anniversary of the School of Architecture. The seminar discussed:
- the emerging creative economy
- the challenges this economy presents for organizations of all kinds
- what it will take to be a successful business in the 21st Century
The seminar generated many comments and much discussion about the specific impact that the demands the 21st Century will place on architectural firms and on the practice of architecture in general.
To
encourage the architectural community in coming to grips with these issues,
we are offering our presentation handouts as a free
white paper. (Adobe Acrobat PDF format. Requires the
free Adobe Acrobat Reader for viewing.)
In addition, we have established a discussion area specifically for architects and other members of architectural firms to facilitate sharing ideas, experiences, concerns, general comments, and change strategies. Those discussions, moderated by our professional staff of organizational development practitioners, have the potential to offer insights that you cannot find anywhere else ... since they derive directly from the experience of professionals like you.
We cordially invite you to participate in an engaging dialog between and among members of this rapidly evolving profession.
