Mancini Duffy: How to Reinvent a 105-Year-Old Design Firm (w/ Christian Giordano, Bolanle Williams-Olley )

<p>A technology-first firm is not one that merely uses the latest technology in their practice. It’s a firm that leverages that technology to allow collaboration in the sketching process all the way through a 3D experience. It’s having designers, project managers, technical architects, and software developers all working together to make things happen in tandem and instantaneously. Mancini Duffy is a firm that takes that collaboration seriously. In this Best Practice webinar, President Christian Giordano and CFO Bolanle Williams-Olley explain how that collaboration works through everything the firm does, including how they support their employees.</p><p><strong>Interview Takeaways</strong></p><ul> <li>Create a collaborative environment</li> <li>Carry tech into the construction process</li> <li>Meet client expectations</li> <li>Have a unique selling point</li> <li>Bond with your team to be a good leader</li> <li>Bring in changes gradually</li> <li>Focus on revenue before optional things</li> <li>Increase efficiency and salaries</li> <li>Offer vacation stipends and flexible hours</li> <li>Ask for what you want in a firm</li> <li>Find a staffing procedure that works for your firm</li> <li>Look at things as you go and at the end</li> </ul><p><strong>Show Links</strong></p><ul> <li>Connect with Christian Giordano on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/cdgiordano/">LinkedIn</a> or <a href="https://twitter.com/archifella">Twitter</a> </li> <li>Connect with Bolanle Williams-Olley on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/bolanlewo/">LinkedIn</a> or <a href="https://twitter.com/Bolanle_HQ">Twitter</a> </li> <li>Check out <a href="https://www.manciniduffy.com/">Mancini Duffy</a> </li> <li>Connect with Chris Morgan on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-morgan-488a54193/">LinkedIn</a> </li> <li>Check out <a href="https://monograph.io/">Monograph</a> </li> <li>Follow Monograph on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/monograph/">LinkedIn</a> or<a href="https://www.instagram.com/monographhq/"> Instagram</a>
