Discovery: A Search for New Models of Practice
Why do design firms stick with a business model that pushes them relentlessly
towards becoming a "commodity"? How can design firms learn to survive
with growing competitive threats from outside, and within, the A/E industry?
AMI and 23 design professionals spent two years searching for the New Models
of the Design Firm that would respond to these and other challenges faced by
A/E firms. Our initial report, Discovery: A Search for New Models of Practice,
is now available. (Purchasing
