If you watch some of the reality competition shows on TV, HMC Architects recently participated in a “Quick-Fire Challenge” team-building exercise of our own. At the Annual HMC Conference held this past week in Palm Springs, HMC’s leaders broke into ten separate teams and had only two hours to design and construct an award-winning birdhouse. Each team was provided the same random materials that were not revealed until the start of the competition. It was mandatory that all materials provided be used in the individual bird house designs, and the exercise required the use of essential high-performance qualities that we embrace at HMC Architects, such as design, leadership, teamwork, efficiency, creativity, innovation, and doing more with less. The level of enthusiasm and participation was eclipsed only by the creativity of the resulting designs.
