The annual compensation survey conducted by DesignIntelligence and the Greenway Group was released this week. It reveals opportunity and strategic optimism, even in the face of a gloomy economy.
The research tracks trends in salaries, benefits, bonuses, and executive compensation in design practices. It is now the largest of its kind in the world. Data collected for the current survey includes responses from more than 135 leading firms with some 400 offices employing nearly 19,000 people.
Despite the difficult economy that brings corresponding decreasing backlogs for some firms, the highest percentage of organizations that responded to the survey showed significant growth in 2007. According to Greenway Group Chairman James P. Cramer, “There is a captivating body of evidence proving that well-led design organizations can grow even in recessed markets and tectonic shifts in categorical service demand if they have a strategic game plan.”
The research is published in the March/April issue of DesignIntelligence, which is now in the mail to subscribers. Subscribe online or call (800) 726-8603.
