Engineering Buisness Management Seminar/Education
(OP)
I am a principal in a small structural engineering firm and have been asked to start preparing to be a branch manager within the next year. I would like to take a so called "bootcamp" class on how to manage and run an engineering firm.
Anyone have a recommendations on where I can find a class or program? Or if there are any professional associations that have possible seminars available?
Thanks.

Visit your local say Barnes & Noble store and read and later buy books on traditional marketing, online marketing, website optimization, cash flow analysis, art of collections, proposal preparation, pricing, managing technical staff, differentiation and growing a consulting business. Subscribe to Inc. magazine.
Benefit from the retired executives by visiting SCORE.org website.
Also make sure you really like the entrepreneurial side, since this will involve many months of learning and long hours in running a business. If you are content on being a technical person or dread the "business" side of structural engineering, hire an office manager & a business development consultant.
It is very rewarding on most days and rather addicting. Best of luck.
