"THE CREDENTIAL"

September 2013


Smart Aleck, Smart Car, Smart Phone, Smart Practice? 

 



"Smart Aleck", a wisecracking pretentious person (circa mid 19th century), is not popularly used anymore.  Who isn't blown away by the cost and energy efficiency of Smart Cars, and maybe you are the proud owner of one? Unimaginable just a few years ago, Smart Phones have revolutionized our lives through convenient instant access to information from anywhere.  In this technology driven world, let's explore this question.... How Smart is your Practice? Does Smart Practice mean efficient time management? Does it mean universal project management? Does it mean marketing professional services? Does it mean mergers and acquisitions? Does it mean firm leadership transition?  While these questions require thoughtful consideration, let's focus on twenty-first century Smart Practice management. The foundation of effective practice management is the very core of the AEC profession. The basics are individual and firm credentials. If your individual and firm credentials are in disarray, or not yet secured, how can you effectively market your professional services? How much time do you spend locating your license renewal notices and are all of your continuing education requirements current?

AEC Smart Best Practices should include smarter credentials management guidelines. Excuse me ------ time to go write a "white paper".
