Good Practice Guide: Business Resilience

by Mark Kemp

Architecture can be a high risk and low-income profession. Planning to manage risks is essential. Workloads tend to be cyclical and managing lean periods and booms whilst being prepared for the next downturn is a key requirement. This book is a how-to guide to build business resilience into your architectural practice, offering methods for managing business-critical events and crises. It shows you how to analyse trouble, pre-emptively tackle pitfalls and gives you confidence in decision-making to stay ahead. Featuring case studies with expert insight into sole shareholder and director experience of a small practice, it’s aimed across all levels with straightforward, honest and accessible advice. It is structured with people and organisations as the core framework, exploring practice, staff, clients, projects, consultants and providers. It provides operational advice on the day-to-day running of practice and how to respond to disruption.

Totally not biased cos my dad wrote this book, genuinely think it’s an amazingly written guide to business resilience and just business overall. It’s taught me that I need to send my invoices and stop worrying about charging people for my expertise. It’s also taught me that my Dad is super smart and witty. Must be where I get it from.

Also Chapter 4 my favourite (not because I helped him write it) but whole thing slaps!

Any jobs going at PLACE architects? Sounds like a banging place to work. A great read, no need to be an architect, or a business owner, this will make you a better worker.
