Summary:

Based on his forty years of varied architectural experience, the author, who is noted especially for his hotel designs throughout the United States, describes in specific and often amusing terms how to conduct an office and how to practice architecture for profit. Until now there has been little or nothing published that will help a newly formed firm or an existing firm to achieve better profits, prevent losses, and avoid legal entanglements. In presenting the inside story of the architectural profession at the practical business level, the author takes the reader from his first day in architecture school through his years of professional practice. By freely discussing his experiences the author hopes to help others avoid costly errors and unexpected difficulties. Added to the author's candid observations are the experiences of many other architectural firms. Stressing the practical aspects of the profession, the book covers every phase of the business of architecture from opening an office, establishing rapport with a client, and keeping a practice running smoothly and profitably, through public relations, methods of securing commissions, law and accounting as they relate to architecture, and many other complexities faced by the architect in a fast-changing era. This interestingly written and extremely practical book will be"must" reading for all practicing architects and students, as well as for those professionals working in the allied fields of engineering and interior design. -- from dust jacket.

Summary:

The Practice of Professional Coaching Change is the life-blood of consulting just as organizations endure only through successful change. The reality of this mutual need lies at the heart of what consulting is all about. Consultants solve problems created by the powerful forces of change in an organization's environment and in so doing, create change themselves. The Practice of Professional Consulting is a comprehensive examination of what has been called "the world's newest profession." In this practical resource Edward Verlander offers an overview of the industry and includes the most useful processes, tools, and skills used by successful consultants to produce solutions for their clients. The book also reveals why consulting is a growing and attractive career option. The best practices used by leading consulting firms are included in the book as well as the capabilities skillful consultant use in each stage of engagement. Verlander also recommends ways to ensure a consultant can solve a client's problems in a systematic, professional way. At the very heart of the book is the emphasis he puts on what is needed to become a truly trusted consultant. Filled with a wealth of must-have information from a wide range of consulting professionals, the book includes: a model of the consulting cycle; a diagnostic instrument for assessing consulting roles; ideas of how to develop political intelligence to navigate client organizations; tools for managing consulting meetings, risk assessment, and skills transfer; techniques in communications, emotional intelligence, presentations, and listening; and much more. Written for anyone wishing to start a consulting business, new employees at established consulting firms, facilitators of consulting training programs, and faculty at business schools, this important resource provides an easy way to understand the stages, roles, and tasks of consulting found in any type of consulting and it provides simple and easy-to-use techniques and templates for implementation.
