AEC leaders, owners and executives are often flooded with decisions. With so much time spent pursuing work, managing operations and keeping a firm running smoothly, how can they be sure they are making a positive impact on customers and the workforce? Regardless of plans or lack thereof, there are key steps senior decision-makers can take today to ensure they are positioned for a better future.
Leaving a legacy means that good things happen in a company because of positive leadership and making the right decisions. For an AEC firm, leaving a legacy means that your positive influence is remembered, honored and still being experienced and felt by others long after you are gone.
You don’t need to hand down your family business to future generations to leave a mark on the industry. An impactful legacy can be felt by others regardless of the end result. Whether you close up shop, change business strategies completely, grow, retire or “plan to not have a plan,” the actions you take and the decisions you make right now are creating your legacy—like it or not. Below are simple steps you can take today to influence your legacy.
Data can fuel AEC leaders' ability to personalize experiences, conduct market research and make cost-effective, data-driven decisions. But leaving an impactful legacy starts with having the right technology and systems in place so you can gain insights into the state of your business. Being able to import, collect and monitor historical company information into a new ERP or a CRM that’s purpose-built for AEC can allow your firm to live on and thrive long after you’ve built your legacy.
