#6 Blueprints for Leadership: Lessons from the Owner’s Side
Architects play a critical role in shaping the built environment, but the life of a building extends far beyond design and construction. This session explores how facility and owner perspectives can inform stronger leadership and better long-term outcomes in architectural practice.
Through insights from professionals responsible for operating and maintaining buildings, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how early design and project decisions impact performance over time. The session will highlight the importance of feedback, collaboration, and accountability across the full lifecycle of a project.
By examining successes and challenges from the owner’s side, participants will learn how to strengthen decision-making, improve communication with stakeholders, and lead with a more holistic view of project delivery. This program reinforces that effective leadership in architecture requires not only delivering a successful project, but also understanding and taking responsibility for its long-term performance.
Things to be covered during this presentation:
- Understand how early project decisions influence long-term building performance and outcomes
- Recognize the importance of lifecycle thinking in leadership and decision-making
- Develop a deeper understanding of owner and facility management perspectives
