Excellent resource for A/E firms,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Strategic Planning for Design Firms (Paperback)
I own a 10 person civil engineering firm and I recently decided it was time to create a strategic plan to chart our path to growth and profitability. I didn't have much to go by, but couldn't resist this book because it's industry specific. Now that I've read it, I can say that it is an excellent resource. Soon I will begin to prepare our strategic plan as outlined in this book - and I'm excited to get started! With confidence I recommend this book to anyone in the A/E industry that is interested in creating or refining a strategic plan!
