This forum will introduce core principles of practice management and project delivery that underpin improved financial performance. It will also explore these concepts within a broader strategic framework; highlighting how intentional planning and positioning can enhance both professional outcomes and long‑term practice success. This event also serves as an introduction to the forthcoming Institute of Architects’ Business School of Architecture, launching in May in conjunction with the AGM in Melbourne. The first two full modules – Strategy and Financial Performance – will be offered as a one‑day course immediately following the AGM, with a further five modules to be released over the subsequent 12 months.
