Most principals in A/E firms focus on labor utilization (aka chargeability) more than any other metric in managing their firms. During tough times, when overhead cutting becomes a necessity, this focus becomes an obsession. But does higher labor utilization really lead to improved profitability?

Join Dave Burstein, PSMJ's Director of Consulting and Training, for his webinar Managing Overhead for Long-Term Growth Live on the Web — June 21, 2011 at 1:30 pm Eastern Time as he presents practical, proven ways of cutting your overhead in ways that strengthen, not weaken, your firm. And you get the tools to implement these ideas, including:

 

  • Benchmarking data you can use to compare your firm's major overhead expenditures with that of other A/E firms of similar size, clientele, and practice areas
  • Worksheets (in electronic format) to help you decide on what you should cut
  • Practical guidance on how to preserve, or even enhance, morale while you're making the necessary overhead cuts
