We’ve had a roaring start to the year and are just getting a chance to catch our collective breath as we (already) dive into February. 2022 looks to be a stellar year for Odimo. We are excited to continue delivering inspiring design for our current clients while we build the foundations for new partnerships.
This year, I personally am looking forward to my position as Chair of the AIATrust. The Trust is an independent body that offers a portfolio of insurance, risk management solutions, and practice management resources designed to help AIA members grow and prosper. Last September, I represented the Trust in our annual insurance carrier interview and review of professional liability trends and risk management issues. The summary of this conversation can be read in more detail here.
Risk management may seem to be a dull topic but managing change and the risky nature of design and construction is truly what we do every day. For Odimo, our best strategy in managing risk has been to lead with open and honest communication while staying focused on long-term partnerships with our clients and collaborators.
As many of us in the design and construction industry hurry-up-and-go into 2022, I encourage us all to maintain an eye on that management of risk, not only for the success of our businesses but also as our responsibility in service to our clients and community.
Cheers to 2022!
