At Weisman Design Group, we ve decided to apply a little foresight to the economic downturn, and review the things we are doing and the things we want to continue to do to weather the slump. In the end, the best way to survive in a contracting economic climate is to help clients survive and thrive. One basic way to maintain and expand landscape architectural services during economic slowdowns is to actively pursue a diversified and reasonably broad market.
Successful firms know their strengths and choose a few niches that are strong and profitable.
Ideally, this strategy is something firms already have in place while the economic climate is robust. Projects are more complex than ever before. In our work we have discovered that the classic landscape architecture skills of coordination and team management have become all the more important. We look for places where we can concentrate our energy to bridge gaps between other consultants. This strength provides the client with full value and a more fully coordinated team.
