Culture Eats Strategy for Breakfast

This can be especially true as firms strive for integrated, sustainable, and high-performing design outcomes that span their entire portfolios, not simply a few high-flying projects. This session will take you through some of the common challenges inherent in breaking out of "business as usual" design processes. You'll also explore examples of strategies that leading firms have used successfully in their quests to meaningfully infuse sustainability throughout their firms and projects. Speakers: Keith Hempel, FAIA | President/CDO | LPA Design Studios Ashley Mulhall, AIA | Senior Associate | Orcutt Winslow Dan Stine, AIA | Director of Design Technology | Lake Flato Moderator: Ellen Mitchell, AIA | Director of Sustainability and Applied Research | LPA Design Studios   Please Note: Registration for this webinar will close at 10:00 am PT on Wednesday, November 20, 2024.
