Course Description:
Small architecture firms often operate with limited administrative capacity, requiring principals and staff to manage multiple responsibilities across project delivery, client communication, business operations, and financial oversight. This course examines practical methods for improving efficiency through simple, repeatable systems that support better organization, clearer task management, and more intentional use of time within small firm practice.

Participants will explore strategies for identifying workflow inefficiencies, reducing the impact of interruptions, and implementing practical tools for task tracking, follow-up, and routine administrative functions. The course also addresses ways to simplify recurring business processes without overcomplicating operations, helping firms create manageable systems that improve productivity, support internal coordination, and allow greater focus on core professional services.
