THE YES FACTOR STUDY

You’re the one they need to impress.

We’re interviewing execs who make the real calls — to uncover what truly tips the scales when choosing architects and CMs.

As an executive leader, you sit through pitch after pitch and make the tough calls for multi-million dollar decisions.

Now it’s your turn to share what really matters.

The problem you’re (likely) too polite to say out loud:

A/E/C firms show up with the same vanilla presentations, talk about themselves ad nauseum, and then are shocked when you pick someone else.

Even when their qualifications are identical, they somehow all manage to bore you differently.

My mission? To cut the BS from the QBS process.

And in turn, save you from snooze-fest pitches that don’t make your decisions any easier.

So are you ready to talk about (as the Spice Girls would say) what you really, really want?

Let’s get loud and fix the QBS process — for good.

When you’re hiring an architecture, engineering, or construction management firm—or any professional services team—you’re making decisions that affect your community for decades.

Big decisions. Big dollars. Big pressure.

And yet… you’re expected to choose based on:

  • 30 lookalike proposals,

  • 4 boring shortlist presentations,

  • And a scoring system that treats every firm like they’re the same.

Let’s be honest: the QBS process was designed to protect fairness, but leaves out the nuances that help you make the best decision.

YES FACTOR gives public leaders like you a real voice in what would make the process better—clearer, faster, more human.

It’s your chance to shape something better for your peers—and yourself.

That’s why we are conducting THE YES FACTOR STUDY—a focused research project to hear directly from people like you:
Superintendents, city managers, fire chiefs, CFOs—public executives tasked with choosing the right partners under high-stakes conditions.

I’m inviting you to a quick, 20-minute conversation where we’ll talk about:

  • What would help you trust a team sooner?

  • What’s missing from the way firms show up?

  • What makes one stand out (or blend in)?

  • And how the process could better serve the people making the call—you
