Benchmarking: The Secret Weapon of High Performing Architecture Firms

Earn 1 AIA LU.

Many AE firms make decisions based on intuition rather than data-driven insights, often overlooking critical performance metrics. Leveraging data from over 1,500 architecture and engineering firms, BQE has compiled a comprehensive report on industry best practices for key performance indicators (KPIs) that all firms should be monitoring. In this webinar, we will explore the findings of our Benchmarking Report and provide actionable strategies for firms to enhance their performance across each metric.

Learning Objectives

• Define benchmarking and explain why it is important
• List the KPIs tracked across the industry and summarize the results of the data
• Analyze strategies a firm could use to improve in each of these areas
• Identify how benchmarking change based on firm size or industry
