In the current economic climate, companies are more in need than ever of professionals who can systematize and bring their projects to fruition to boost their efficiency. Indeed, at the moment, only 8% of organisations are regarded as ‘high performance’ with regard to achieving the objectives of the projects they undertake. A low-performing company poses a capital risk almost fourteen times higher than companies with excellent performance results, a contrast that can mean the difference between whether a company is viable or not*.

Architects are agents of change. They are used to working under pressure in dynamic, complex and ever-changing environments. They can alternate a global overview of the project with the ability to focus on key aspects. Furthermore, architects who specialise in project management are trained specifically to complete projects to the agreed quality, deadline and budget. At the same time, they have the ability to document, monitor and control the project effectively. This is their main added value. A project is not just a routine operation, but a series of operations designed to achieve a particular objective.
