Their success is a testament to their adaptability and commitment to innovation, particularly in the realm of how to grow an architecture firm amid shifting governmental and market landscapes.
The Challenges
In the realm of architecture, systemization can be a complex puzzle. Ruth Newman, the founder, perceived early on that even though systems were paramount, ingraining them into the company’s culture was a battle. Despite these hurdles, there was an evident need to streamline processes and foster a collaborative working environment where the methods of one did not clash with the collective goals of the firm.
