Rossmann Architecture: How to Run the Business Side of Architecture (w/ Shane Balcom)

Shane Balcom joined Rossmann Architecture in July 2020 and hasn’t looked back. Since Balcom’s arrival, the Ottawa-based firm has seen its revenue triple and the size of its team double, thanks in part to the leadership principles the managing director has brought to the table. In a conversation with Monograph’s Best Practice co-hosts Chris Morgan and George Valdes, Balcom discussed the role company culture plays in the health of a company’s bottom line, how routine has created a needed sense of stability, and the best practices he’s instituted to make Rossmann a thriving firm.Interview TakeawaysStreamline decision-making to help increase revenueCulture is an essential part of company growthVertical leadership structure is still importantUse weekly one-on-ones to create stickinessHow retaking control in project management shapes strategyInstitute a ‘forecast rhythm’ to help with planningThe value of staying consistentTransparency and respect go hand in handUnderstand the role work plays in people’s livesThe power of delegationPay incentives can help bolster company cultureSource ideas from everyoneShow LinksCheck out Rossmann Architecture Inc.Follow Rossmann Architecture Inc. on LinkedInConnect with Shane Balcom on LinkedInConnect with George Valdes on LinkedIn or TwitterCheck out MonographFollow Monograph on LinkedIn or TwitterListen and read more about Monograph
