One summer when I was in college, I interned
in Human Resources at The Colony Square Hotel in Atlanta (had no idea I'd wind up here years later.)
My assignment was to create the Employee Handbook. It taught me the value of documenting processes and procedures.
And when I launched my design practice a few years later, I began documenting my own processes and procedures.
When I hired my
first intern, I invested the first week with them shadowing me and I provided the manual of my design practice processes and procedures.
It was their self-guided road map to what needed to get done and how to do it the right way. It saved me literally weeks of training.
When questions came up, my first response was to ask if they'd checked the manual. The answer was usually
inside.
Your Design Manual serves as A PRICELESS BACKBONE FOR YOUR PROFITABLE DESIGN PRACTICE.
And you can even have an intern or assistant create it and maintain it, if you have one on board. I'm dishing all the details in this week's training!
