Running a modern architecture practice webinar

Join RIBAJ for a one-hour webinar on strengthening operations and improving visibility across projects, teams, and finances.

About the event
As architecture practices take on more complex projects and manage larger teams, maintaining clear visibility over project performance, resourcing, and financial outcomes becomes increasingly challenging.

Without the right structures, systems and operational reporting in place, leadership and management teams can struggle to stay confident in the numbers, make timely decisions, and ensure projects remain commercially healthy.

We’ll explore the common operational challenges practices face as they grow in complexity, from fragmented data and delayed reporting to unclear ownership of project performance, and how better structures, systems and operational insight can create clarity and confidence across the business.

You’ll hear practical insights on how architecture practices are improving decision-making, strengthening operational control, and building practices that are not only creatively successful but operationally resilient and financially robust.

This webinar will be chaired by Eleanor Young, editor of RIBAJ
