    83 | Technology Silos

    Technology Silos exist in all aspects of life and work. In the past year I have experienced some negative aspects of this though working with collaborators on a project that use their own workarounds for their own efficiency. In this case it has made others less efficient, including the team I am working on. On the other side, silos similar to this can make a project more efficient. Think of specialty tools for a contractor, which I give the example of a drywall contractor here. What are some technology silos you can think of, positvie or negative, in your day to day? Let me know your thoughts, and email me at: info@dauntlessdc.com

    82 | Am I in the Wrong Room?

    As I developed my firm principles I started to think that I should also use this as a basis for finding ideal clients. When networking or interacting with people I have started to think if I'm spending my time wisely. In this episode, I'm proven wrong by questioning if i should go to an event, and I also start considering to offer some Revit software advice, but not for free.

    81 | How to Test Principles

    Now that I've identified my principles how do I test them on a regular basis. On this episode I go over how I have a weekly meeting with myself (coffee and breakfast provided by my boss, oh wait that's me) to identify certain situations in the past week and test to see which principles were used. Then I go over how I may be able to use these principles to evaluate an ideal team member to work with, whether its an employee, consultant, or client.

    80 | Firm Principles #7 and #8: Quick Communication/Follow the Follow

    Combining the last two principles, which are Principle 7 (Quick Communication) and 8 (Follow the Follow). Both work well together because I want to get information to others as quick as possible, and once that information is in their hands I want to make sure the next steps are being made by others.

    79 | Firm Principle #6: Design is in the Details

    The details of a project can be broken down into not only the design of a project, but also the design of the process of a project.

    78 | Firm Principle #5: Refresh and Renew

    The daily grind of running and operating a business can take its toll over time, so making sure I'm fresh and ready to go is very important. I go over how I can keep it fresh on business operations and processes, along with how I do it on a daily basis.

    77 | Firm Principle #4: Question Popular Opinion

    As a younger professional I worked with a senior project manager who would tell me to always look at the pros and cons of whatever is involved in the design of a project. Today, I still look at that and sometimes it can help me determine if a client is a good fit or not. I also offer my opinions of made up deadlines for designing for the environment that is a sure sign of an groups or individuals pushing an agenda rather than an idea that is beneficial to all.

    76 | Firm Principle #3: Slow Down and Extend

    With my third principle, it's fitting that this is being released in August, since this is the month most people do slow down. I came up with this principle in response to how I've seen stress being created in project with unrealistic expectations to project timelines and expected quality of product. Slowing down has led to better quality and less stress, and I go into detail how I deliver that.
