Recently, the distinction between strategy formulation and execution has become increasingly blurred -- the implementation of strategy is as important than the strategy itself. Because implementation is driven heavily by measurements, rewards, staffing, training and communications, HR is central to effective strategy implementation. This article focuses on the importance of the Strategic Architect role for the effectiveness of HR Professionals. The authors define what it means to be a Strategy Architect; report research on the impact and role of being a Strategy Architect; and propose specific suggestions for successfully playing this role. Based on this research and the author's experience in applying it, they suggest there are five ways HR professionals can better play the role of Str...
BOGOTA, Colombia - When it comes to uses of bamboo, many think of chopsticks, panda food or patio furniture. Simon Velez, on the other hand, envisions bus stations, churches or bridges. The Bogota, Colombia-based architect is leading a global crusade for new uses of the plant, a giant member of the grass family, as a strong, eco-sustainable, aesthetically pleasing material that can substitute for wood and concrete in many projects.
Though often heavily rooted in tradition, law firm design is a complex process that should be tied to a firm's goals and culture. That's the opinion of Dan Jay, an architect with Clayton-based Christner, and Jay should know. His firm handled the design of the St. Louis office of Lewis, Rice & Fingersh. Spanning six floors, the project, completed in March 2010, marked the firm's move to 600 Washington Ave., the tower at the former St. Louis Centre. Christner also handled a two-year revamp of Thompson Coburn, which was completed in February. Experienced at working on law firm architecture and decor, Jay's portfolio also includes extensive work with Fortune 500 companies in St. Louis with a special focus on environmentally friendly practices that conserve energy and reduce waste.

The evening memorial service held last week for Greg Baldwin was a unique mix: a little complicated, a little light-hearted and very pedestrian-oriented. In other words, it was a pretty accurate reflection of the kind of architect Baldwin was.
WASHINGTON, March 3, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Nearly a year after the issuance of the National Broadband Plan (NBP), the plan's lead architect told a policy gathering on Wednesday that the Federal Communications Commission did not take the right approach to increasing broadband adoption among low-income households, and that it should be changed. Blair Levin, who was Executive Director of the Omnibus Broadband Initiative at the FCC during the NBP's formulation and now serves as Society Fellow at the Aspen Institute, said that the plan should not have counted on transitioning the Universal Service Fund (USF) as its core strategy for expanding broadband access in for poor and rural households in underserved areas. The USF currently provides subsidies to support basic monthly telepho...
BLOOMINGTON - German philosopher Johann Wolfgang von Goethe once called architecture "frozen music." Keeping this powerful metaphor in mind, one could say that area residents find themselves in the midst of an ambitious, eclectic composition by Bloomington architect Arthur L. Pillsbury. His career - with nearly 700 known buildings to his name - spanned the final years of the 19th century and ended with an untimely death in 1925. Although Pillsbury's body of work is concentrated in Bloomington-Normal and the surrounding area, he also designed plenty of buildings in far-flung downstate Illinois communities, such as Centralia and Tuscola.
