Have you ever wondered what it would be like to run your own firm? Following the success of this workshop in Columbus in 2023, AIA Cleveland is hosting a miniature version of the Practice Simulation Lab in a one-day workshop that will test your firm leadership skills.

In this event, your team will collaborate to create your firm—its name, mission, practice area, structure, ownership, workplace (remote? In a cabin in Hocking Hills? Or a founding firm in one of the developments cropping up along the river?), all of the foundational information you need to start a firm.

After a break for lunch, much like The Game of Life®, you and your team will face challenges from the dramatic— like the untimely death of an owner or a worldwide pandemic that will dramatically change firm-wide operations—to the expected problem of filling a vacant role.

At the end of the event, your team (and fictional business partners) will share how your firm fared and get feedback from the group.

Breakfast and Lunch are provided as part of the program! We hope to see you there!
