Developing the Next Generation of Structural
Engineers
Glenn Bell, senior principal & CEO, Simpson Gumpertz
& Heger
The future promises unprecedented opportunity and challenge for
structural engineers, and the caliber and enthusiasm of graduates
entering the workforce is impressive. But new demands require more
training, less specialization, greater competency, and a sharpened focus
on globalization. The entire field needs to collaborate and deliver
forward-looking programs to ensure that tomorrow’s structural engineers
are globally adept and committed to a lifetime of learning.
As CEO of Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (SGH) Glenn Bell has guided the
firm’s growth from 140 to over 400 employees in five offices. He has led
major corporate strategic initiatives including a full structural
reorganization and multiple merger/acquisitions. |

Key Financial Indicators for Leading your
Firm to Success
Scott Braley, FAIA FRSA, Braley Consulting &

Much of our structural engineering work is about numbers and formulas.
Most of us feel great satisfaction when it all adds up. That’s true of
structural design, of projects – and of leading and managing a firm to
sustained success. This interactive work session will explore and
analyze those essential numbers – drivers, indicators, ratios, formulas
– that mean success or failure for structural engineering firms today.
A firm and project leader during 30 years in A/E/C practice, Scott
Braley has served as managing principal in an ENR Top 40 firm. For the
past 14 years he has concentrated on helping A/E/C firms throughout the
world improve strategy, lead and manage their firms. |

Hard Choices in a Soft Economy:
4 Mistakes you Can’t Afford to Make

Companies face fewer opportunities, fierce competition, the need to do
more with less, the influx of the “Millennial” generation, a steady

edge, and even how to survive. Companies cannot rely on technical
competence alone for success. This session will present four essential
leadership skills to create stability, unlock innovation, and provide
the potential to deal with challenges.

performance. Learn the three keys to powerful coaching – clear
expectations, effective feedback, and support.
