“I had the privilege of working with Chris Fay during my role as Partner Manager for Autodesk. From my very first conversation and meeting with Chris – I was struck by his curiosity, his openness to listen, his ability to learn, understand and incorporate new and different concepts, and s to take feedback and suggestions on potential different ways of working. As a leader – Chris is honest, filled with integrity, and loyalty (to his customers, his team, his partners, and the companies he works with). One of the attributes I admire the most about Chris is his methodical way of building and working a plan. He is data-driven, he is passionate, but he is not impulsive. He measures success by metrics, analytics, and the effort of those around him. As a business leader - he uses strategy fueled by experience, and complemented by a curiosity to try new things in an effort to improve the current state. He has a deep wealth of industry experienced which helps give his team a leg up on understanding what can actually help customers, and bring value to their efforts. As a leader and a partner in business – he leads with ethics and holds himself accountable to the highest standards. He conveys information with intent, clarity, and his passion to do the best job possible is infectious. At the end of the day - he leads his team and their efforts to win as a team – based on value – rather than just leading with a price. In my years of working and development – I learned a great deal from Chris and his organization - all of which helped me to grow and mprove in the role I was in (as a colleague and as a person). Working with Chris and his team – was a pleasure and a great learning experience. If you have a chance to work with TPM and Chris – you should jump at the chance. You will learn a lot, you will benefit from the experience, and you will be glad you did. ”

Imagine thinking there’s nowhere left to turn, and you discover a place that can help. Now imagine you are not alone.

www.julievalentinecenter.org Imagine yourself in the shoes of an innocent child who is being abused. Imagine the confusion and anger you feel. Imagine wondering if your home is safe. Imagine thinking there’s nowhere left to turn, and you discover a place that can help. Now imagine you are not alone. As an abused child, spouse or sexual assault victim, you meet others just like you who overcame the unspeakable things that happened. That’s exactly why the Julie Valentine Center is here, to help people in your shoes. Our inspiration comes from an infant who was found deceased in a wooded area here in Greenville on a cold February day in 1990. The police named her Julie Valentine. Adopted by the community, her legacy has become a symbol of hope for those who have survived rape or child abuse.

The gap between AEC marketers and technical leaders isn’t about skill. It’s about translation. Marketers speak in funnels and engagement. Principals think in deliverables and results. Both sides are essential. But if they’re not aligned, strategy breaks down before it ever reaches the client. Marketing is business development with different tools. It’s time we close the gap and build a better way forward. Read more in the latest edition of The Sparks Newsletter.

Leaders in AEC know that every project depends on precision, collaboration, and timing. But to be successful we need to think about more than just blueprints and budgets. Consider how your technology supports every stage of a project. Whether you’re coordinating architects, engineers, or contractors across sites, your IT infrastructure is the silent foundation keeping everything connected. ✅ Real-time file sharing ✅ Cloud-based BIM collaboration ✅ Secure mobile access for site teams Unfortunately, many firms still rely on outdated systems that can’t keep up with modern workflows which results in delays, miscommunication, and missed opportunities. This week, take a moment to ask if your tech is helping you build smarter or holding you back. Chat to us about one IT upgrade that you can implement to ensure your AEC projects run smoother. https://lnkd.in/eu9knwqE #AEC #ConstructionTech #DigitalTransformation #BIM #ManagedIT #Infrastructure

KCI Technologies had a challenge familiar to many AEC firms - project data scattered across multiple systems, making it harder to manage resources, track financials, and plan with confidence. By moving to Microsoft Dynamics 365 and aec360, KCI unified project delivery, financial management, and business planning on a single platform - giving leaders real-time insight into every aspect of the business. The result? ✅ Clearer visibility into performance and profitability ✅ Streamlined processes from proposal to closeout ✅ Stronger foundation for growth and innovation Read the full case study: https://lnkd.in/eCyZQ9c7 #AEC #Engineering #ERP #MicrosoftDynamics365
