Leading Provider of Profitability and Assessment Solutions for AEC Firms Launches their Proprietary Platform During Three Days of Events Spanning Two Cities.
AEC Business Solutions, a leading provider of profitability and assessment solutions for Architectural, Engineering,
and Construction firms is pleased to announce the launch of their new online training platform and business management assessment.
To introduce the platform to the A/E/C community, AEC Business held three days of launch events from April 28-30, 2015 at The Pyramid Club, Philadelphia, PA (April 28th) and The Tower Club, Vienna, VA (April 29th) followed by a live webinar event on April 30th. The launch events gave AEC executives an opportunity to acquire information and learn about the new “Find the Lost Dollars” online training platform and business management assessment – which helps firms increase profitability and save a significant portion of lost revenue.
June R. Jewell, CPA and President of AEC Business Solutions, led both sold-out live events and the online webinar with a presentation of, “How AEC Firms are Finding the Lost Dollars.” Attendees of both live events and the online webinar received professional development hours (PDH) and continuing education credits (CEU).
Jewell expounded upon the philosophy laid out in her best-selling book, “Find the Lost Dollars: 6 Steps to Increase Profits in Architecture, Engineering and Environmental Firms,” published in 2013, and how authoring the book inspired her to create the online training platform and business management assessment.
“What we found was that after people read the book, they wanted more. They told me they were buying multiple copies for employees and wanting me to do in-house training,” says Jewell, “That feedback inspired me to create a 10-hour online training course and business management assessment for AEC firms to utilize within their own companies. Assessing your business management processes is critical to finding the lost dollars and preventing scope creep.”
Event attendees also enjoyed networking with industry professionals, & celebrated the launch with food & drinks. In addition, webinar attendees received exclusive offers from a select group of Jewell’s industry partners.
For those who were unable to attend the launch events, they can visit the AEC Business Solutions website or contact LeAnn Nowak to learn more.
Bring Clarity to PM Performance
Across A&E firms, Project Managers often operate with very different roles, skill sets, and expectations. That makes it difficult to evaluate performance consistently, identify true capability gaps, and develop PMs in a targeted way.
We are currently developing a Project Manager Competency Assessment designed specifically for architecture and engineering firms. This assessment focuses on the capabilities that most directly influence project profitability, execution, leadership effectiveness, and client outcomes in order to provide firm leaders with clear, objective insight into strengths, gaps, and development priorities.
To ensure this tool addresses real-world challenges, we’ve created a brief, 2-minute survey to better understand:
How PM performance is evaluated today
Where firms struggle with consistency or visibility
Whether there is interest in piloting a practical, firm-specific assessment
Your perspective helps us build something truly valuable for the industry.
