Want to transform your practice into a sustainable business?
For those businesses that are looking to fast track their practice performance, we offer practical, bespoke mentoring and business coaching. Structured around a series of face-to-face meetings, phone calls and emails each month, Archibiz will work with you and your practice on the following areas:
VISION
Mapping the vision for your business, understanding how this fits with your personal vision and building the strategic framework to deliver.
OPERATIONS
Identifying leadership, the practice structure, roles and responsibilities and workflow process.
SALES & MARKETING
Unlocking your brand values, articulating the value of architecture and adopting a client-first approach.
FINANCE & ADMINISTRATION
Understanding financial reporting and working towards cash flow positivity and profitability.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
1. Meet & Greet
A session will be scheduled with one of our Archibiz coaches to learn more about you and your architectural practice. It allows us to gauge if you’re open to someone external providing feedback and guidance on your practice and to assess if there’s a workable chemistry between the parties. Mindset matters.
2. Preliminary Business Review
An initial business review may be recommended, which includes interviews with clients and staff to assess where your practice is at. A written report will be supplied detailing our assessment of where the business is now and those areas proposed for performance improvement through coaching. We charge for this review because it delivers insights and has value, whether you proceed with further coaching and advisory.
3. Ongoing Coaching & Mentoring
Each month, one of our coaches will work with you to deliver your practice performance program. This includes individual coaching of key people in the practice, working with the wider business on specific performance improvement strategies and setting up a board to get you working on the business, rather than in the business.
I like the way you cut through all the business waffle and make complex things seem simple.
