Reigle Writes About Us
How did acla:works land the honour of being a case study in the new book, Positioning for Architecture and Design Firms? Well . . .
For the past 5 years, I have routinely attended the annual American Institute of Architects [AIA] Conventions. At the 2009 convention in San Francisco, I signed up for a course on Strategic Planning for Architects, which was led by Jack Reigle of SPARKS. I was very impressed with Jack and we chatted about the possibility of him coming to Trinidad. I also read a copy of his book, Silver Bullets, and decided that he would be the best person to benchmark our firm against other cutting edge firms that he would have met in the U.S. Jack agreed to visit and, in June 2009, he led a three-day strategic workshop at our office.
Because we had already envisioned the Caribbean Outreach approach and the formation of Mesh – a group of consultants that could offer an integrated project delivery service across the region – we also decided to include the full group in one of the half-day sessions during the workshop.
Jack thinks best on his feet and was able to work with the group to refine the Mesh concept to what it is today. Obviously, Jack was suitably impressed with our inputs and we are proud that he decided to include acla:works as a case study in his latest book, Positioning for Architecture and Design Firms.
