1. Demographics and Globalization (Some things that we’ll explore)
What’s happening to the
world population
What’s happening to various age groups
What’s happening in regard to location of the population
12

1. Demographics and Globalization (Characteristics of a Population)
Demographics can be accurately predicted thus drive most forecasts, (e.g. Marketing)
Populations shift geographically and very unevenly (e.g. U.S. toward 11 Urban
“Megaregions”)
Around the world, “growth or decline” varies dramatically; (as
well as age groups , e.g. Baby Boomers, Gen Xers)
13

Fastest growing Countries in the world include: Mainly in Africa, India and still China
U.N. World Health Organization estimates couples must have an average of 2.1 children for steady population. (Note the contrasts)
India @ 2.8; Europe @ 1.8; Japan @ 1.3; China @ 1.1 U.S. @ 2.0; Canada @ 1.5
U.S. Population will grow by 50% from 2000 to 2050 Mostly in the “South and West” with very little rural in future Baby born in the U.S. every 7 seconds

11 Urban “Megaregions” which will contain
approximately “70%” of U.S. Population As Megaregions “Continue to Grow,” their
infrastructure is expected to stagger to keep pace Among the “Key Issues” “Water” will be critical “Energy” has to be addressed “Transportation Policy”

1. Demographics and Globalization (Some things that we’ll explore)
How the World Economy affect us
How our Markets change and expand
The impact by Foreign Competition
New Opportunities that may occur 18

1. Demographics and Globalization (Process of International Integration)
The “World” is your market
and affects all firms regardless of size
With the decrease in U.S. demand, more firms practice internationally
Competence of design talent more firms “Coming Here”

1. Demographics and Globalization (The World is Your Market)
Global Trade has been with us for
Centuries it’s just increasing at a more rapid rate
Gross Revenue of Top 30 U.S. Design Firms totaled more than $2 billion last year
Firms that avoid the opportunity may be at a disadvantage than those who see it

1. Questions to Ponder? “The shortest distance between two points is riding with a good friend”
What about “Demographics
and Globalization” affects me or my firm?
What should we do to “capitalize” on it?
What will be the next big “growth area” mean to our business development?
25

2. Changes in Demand for Services

2. Changes in Demand for Services (Derived from Population Growth and Shifts)
Housing (single or multi-family) means more offices, schools, retail and utilities
Suburban sprawl is reducing as baby boomers (empty-nesters) seek Urban Core
Left behind: Underused Buildings to be repurposed
27
![Page 28: Michael E. Ossian, AIA, MBA, Principal, The Owner’s Rep of ... · Learning Objectives “You’re never too old to teach and you’re never too young to learn.” Participants will:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070906/5f7814b8447e2448e053ed21/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
A/E serves a Boom/Bust Industry Markets are “not homogeneous”
Markets are “client-type” specific Each group has its own trends Each group has its own drivers
Follow the money $$$$$$ Find out what drives demand for each of your
markets
2. Changes in Demand for Services (Related to Our Markets)
28
![Page 29: Michael E. Ossian, AIA, MBA, Principal, The Owner’s Rep of ... · Learning Objectives “You’re never too old to teach and you’re never too young to learn.” Participants will:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070906/5f7814b8447e2448e053ed21/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Some markets are starting to “Show Recovery”
Population “shifts to urban areas” is important
Other markets showing activity include: Healthcare Higher Education Multi-Family Private Sector Renovation
2. Changes in Demand for Services (Related to Our Markets)

2. Questions to Ponder? “Forgive your enemies. Just don’t forget their names.”
What impact will “Demographics” have?
Could “Globalization” have an impact on us?
Will a “Population Shift” impact our markets dramatically?
30
![Page 31: Michael E. Ossian, AIA, MBA, Principal, The Owner’s Rep of ... · Learning Objectives “You’re never too old to teach and you’re never too young to learn.” Participants will:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070906/5f7814b8447e2448e053ed21/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

3. Impact of Technology on Delivery (From the You Tube Video – Did you Know)
The “Top 10 In-Demand Jobs” didn’t exist 6 years ago
“Technical Information” doubles now every 2 years
To reach target audience of 50 million viewers:
TV: 13 Years Internet: 4 years iPod: 3 years Facebook: 2 years 32

3. Impact of Technology on Delivery (BIM’s Changing the Ball Game)
“Changes in Delivery Systems”
“Information and Data Gathering”
BIM will widen the “Technology Gap”
Embrace new technology “Before” your competitors?
33
![Page 34: Michael E. Ossian, AIA, MBA, Principal, The Owner’s Rep of ... · Learning Objectives “You’re never too old to teach and you’re never too young to learn.” Participants will:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070906/5f7814b8447e2448e053ed21/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
3. Impact of Technology on Delivery (It’s about Building Information Management)
Firms are Expanding Services
to fend off competition from outside our profession
BIM Masters are using technology beyond design: Facilities Mgmt, Shop Drawings
Firms are Looking at Strategies that fit their service markets
34

3. Questions to Ponder? “The hardest part about learnin’ to ride is the ground.”
What impact has Technology (BIM) had on us? (Future?)
Are we in a position to “take advantage” of Technology?
Will BIM be a “Differentiator” for our firm?
35

4. Role of Leadership in Projects (Some things that we’ll explore)
The impact “Technology” is
having on Project Leadership and project delivery
Changes in “Leadership Roles” – with D/B and IPD
Are Architects taking the lead?
37
![Page 38: Michael E. Ossian, AIA, MBA, Principal, The Owner’s Rep of ... · Learning Objectives “You’re never too old to teach and you’re never too young to learn.” Participants will:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070906/5f7814b8447e2448e053ed21/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
4. Role of Leadership in Projects (Some things that we’ll explore)
IPD, lean delivery, aggressive D/B are “Order of the Day”
“Collaboration” around BlM is changing the project delivery model
Information Sharing & Collaboration are keys to delivery model working 38
![Page 39: Michael E. Ossian, AIA, MBA, Principal, The Owner’s Rep of ... · Learning Objectives “You’re never too old to teach and you’re never too young to learn.” Participants will:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070906/5f7814b8447e2448e053ed21/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
4. Role of Leadership in Projects (Some things that we’ll explore)
Collaboration means “more entities” involved “up front”
Architect vs. Contractor
“Role of Integrator” other than A or C
39

4. Questions to Ponder? “Where you live and how you live are not the same thing.”
Are Architects losing control of
Project Leadership with BIM?
What is the Contractor’s Role in IPD and D/B?
What is the “Integrator’s Role” on a BIM project?

5. Impact of Leadership Succession (Some things that we’ll explore)
“Hard Lessons” about
running a firm
Leadership Transition – Baby Boomers
Leadership vs. Ownership “Hand Off”
42
![Page 43: Michael E. Ossian, AIA, MBA, Principal, The Owner’s Rep of ... · Learning Objectives “You’re never too old to teach and you’re never too young to learn.” Participants will:](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070906/5f7814b8447e2448e053ed21/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
5. Impact of Leadership Succession (Leadership Gap)
Many Owners of Firms (boomers & founders) haven’t planned ahead for transition
Numerous firms will be sold to outside entities if insiders aren’t in a position to assume roles
There will be a gap of both “ownership and leadership in many firms
43

5. Impact of Leadership Succession (Most A/E/C Leaders are Baby Boomers)
Fee Pressure isn’t letting up
Baby Boomers currently lead most A/E firms
Retirement of Owners or Principals will help drive Consolidation of Firms
Separation of Leadership from Ownership will be a major obstacle 44

5. Impact of Leadership Succession (Industry Consolidation & Expansion)
The industry will experience simultaneous Consolidation and Expansion
Consolidation will continue due to Ownership Transition
