Every architecture leader wants two things: the creative freedom that makes the work worth doing, and a firm that’s profitable, well-run and growing. Most find the two pulling in opposite directions, and with margins tighter and growth harder to come by, that tension is only getting sharper.
This session looks at how the best-performing practices make craft and discipline work together, from how leaders manage themselves to the practical business decisions that keep projects, people and profit on track.
