It’s natural in today’s busy world for leaders of architecture and engineering firms to be singularly focused on day-to-day operations. But firm leaders need to keep one eye on the future at all times and avoid becoming all-consumed by the churning grind of the here and now. 

People buried in the trenches are unaware of what’s going on all around them, but— whether you recognize it or not—economic, political, social, and technological trends are changing the world and the design profession at an ever-quickening pace. And even though many of these trends are global in nature, they will have a very real impact on your design firm in the decade to come.

Frank Stasiowski, author of PSMJ’s top-selling book, Impact 2020, and gaze into the future with him. Based on his first-hand knowledge of industry trends, analyses of historical precedents, and projections of data in Impact 2020 Revealed, Frank makes reasonable forecasts of what the world and the A/E practice will look like in 2020, and advises what you should do NOW to ensure that you are prepared to succeed in the future he has predicted. In addition, this is your opportunity to challenge any of the predictions Frank makes or even add your own predictions to the group. This webinar is intended to promote an interactive discussion between author and reader, and is a great companion to Impact 2020 – this is a webinar you can’t afford to miss.

“The predictions that I made in the ‘80s, ‘90s, and ‘00s have nearly all come true, and the naysayers then are long gone. Stretching the mind to grasp your inevitable future is a scary proposition, but holding onto the past results in certain failure.”  - Frank A. Stasiowski, FAIA

It’s clear that the next decade will bring with it unprecedented change. You might see the earthquakes that are about to shake the A/E industry as threats to the survival of your firm, but in reality it’s important to understand that the flux in the world and the profession that will occur over the next decade will offer a huge opportunity for firms. Plan ahead, and position your firm to take advantage of these opportunities!

We invite you to view Impact 2020 Revealed with your colleagues, and debate these predictions. We hope this webinar will lead to discussions about how these forecasted trends might impact the future of your firm, and incorporate them into your strategic planning as you formulate a roadmap for the direction of your firm in the coming decade.
