Konvergent Associates

Over the last 11 years, we have built what we believe is the finest pool of architecture associates in the UK. So, what do you get when you bring in a Konvergent Associate?

What you get

What do you get when you bring in a Konvergent Associate?

1

They start fast.

Every associate gets up and running quickly. They do not need mentoring or hand-holding. They get on with the work with the minimum of fuss and come back to you only when they need to.
2

They build rapport.

Our associates find out who the key stakeholders really are and build relationships with them. In many of our larger clients, that is not as straightforward as it should be, and it is critical to an associate’s success.
3

They can say no.

A lot of architects become victims of their own success. They are asked to more meetings and more projects, and their workload keeps growing until something gives. A Konvergent Associate knows when to say yes, and when saying yes would affect the delivery of their work. That only comes from confidence in their ability and their position.
4

They understand presentation.

A Konvergent Associate knows that a deliverable has to look good for the analysis behind it to be accepted. If it does not, they risk losing their stakeholders before the work has really started.
5

They communicate at every level.

Architecture suffers from being important but not urgent, so it is easily pushed down the agenda. To stay relevant, an architect has to be understood by engineering and business stakeholders alike, and every one of our associates can do that.
6

They simplify.

No Konvergent Associate would ever produce a 16-page one-page architecture diagram. They pitch everything at the level of the audience in front of them. People understand Konvergent Associates.
7

They are personable.

This may sound overly simple, but likeable associates are key to our success. It almost goes without saying that they are all domain experts and highly analytical. Without the personal side, though, they would not be able to influence people and build the relationships the work depends on.
