Standard operating procedures (SOPs) are meant to provide clarity and consistency, but when they become outdated, inconsistent, or contradictory, they can become a roadblock that slows down projects and eats away at profitability. At AEC Thrive 2025, WithersRavenel’s Warren Ladbrook, Director of Project Management, will show firm leaders how to tackle this challenge head-on.
