This Is BA: Recent Episodes
Jenny & Todd
A scrappy, no-frills podcast about our favorite architectural firm to keep us connected and help us share good ideas for navigating our new normal.
To be crystal clear: We are not good at podcasting! So, cut us a break on the audio quality and production, and, in return, we'll bring you stories and knowledge from around the firm in a new and interesting way.
Jenny talks to Kyle Majchrowski from Banner Health and our very own Juan Ramos. They discuss how Banner is working to develop a pre-design process ("Phase Zero") that reduces unknowns that create project risk in the form of cost or schedule surprises.
Every client seeks to do this in some manner, but what piqued our curiosity about Banner's approach is their reliance on solid teamwork as the necessary ingredient to achieve success.
This is our last episode of our 2020 season. Thanks for listening and look for a second season to begin in February.

In this episode, we talk with Tim B., Mark, Kellen, Cole, Melissa, and Sarah about the impressive work they've done to streamline their projects for Eating Recovery Centers. A lot of us talk about working smarter instead of harder, but this team shows us what it takes to pull that off.

We're joined by Angela Tirri Van Do, Jose Vaca, and Michael Williams to talk about the phenomenon of SLP's (sh*tty little projects) and whether that is a useful term to apply to some of our work. These three Senior Associates have survived their fare share of such projects and share their perspectives, stories, and wisdom.
Beware: This episode features frequent use of a naughty word. (Guess which one.) Listen with caution if your "colleagues" are in earshot. It also has pretty bad audio quality ... ugh. We're still figuring-out how best to record these things, and the free options are worth what we paid for them. Apologies in advance.

You've seen the movie. Now hear from BA's very own "Rogue One" team on the thought leadership effort that has blossomed out of our current stay-at-home working environment.

We asked several people around the firm to share what aspects of work-from-home they've found to be positive and valuable, things they would like to continue doing when, someday, we're able to go back to "normal." Perhaps, these ideas contain clues about what "Normal v2.0" might be like.
We want to hear your silver linings and what you think the future of work at BA may become. Please add your comments in the BiscuitNet post.
