I like to leave things better than I found them. For more than twenty-five years I have specialized in relationship building, strategic thinking and executing on projects. I have evaluated and advised more than 1000 companies.You see, I enjoyed being trained and then working as an architect for more that 25 years. Architecture is about making something out of nothing OR, my favorite, turning what is into what could be. Not long after opening my own firm, I realized that my craft in no way prepared me for running my own company.So I went to work to learn what I hadn't been taught in school. Ten years of extensive study and application revealed two very critical truths: 1) By and large, success is a formula. Just like most architectural principles are timeless (space, balance, emotional experience, function, etc.) and some are irrefutable (the foundation goes on the bottom and the roof on the top), business principles are timeless.2) Four out of five business fail in the first five years! I thought that absurd. If four out of five houses were falling down, you bet someone would do something about it! So ABI was born.
