When a bench player becomes part of the starting lineup, there is a turning point when the average person decides good isn’t good enough. Architecture & engineering (A&E) is no different. There are truly great firms – best places to work, top design firms, top emerging firms, etc. What makes these firms great and separates them from everyone else? In this year’s Deltek Clarity A&E Clarity Study, we broke out a group of high performers to see what makes them successful. Read on to find out more.

Getting a better understanding of key benchmarking metrics for the AE industry can help your firm focus on what matters most. So, what are some of the key financial KPIs and how does your firm measure up?

The Deltek Clarity A&E Industry Study gives leaders critical benchmarks to see how they measure up in the industry and where there are opportunities for improvement.

Learn how to measure, manage and grow your A&E firm with key insights from the 36th Annual Deltek Clarity A&E Industry Study. Understand how your financial, project management and business development performance stacks up against your AE peers and competitors.

Financial analysis is an exercise all A&E CEOs & Principals must obviously conduct for Strategic Planning, not just for of monitoring operations. Basic analysis includes ‘benchmarking’ against other firms. Why not benchmark against “High Performing Firms” instead of just the A&E industry’s averages?
