ON THE MOVE ZWEIG GROUP ANNOUNCES NEW OWNERS Zweig Group, a global leader in products and services to the AEC industry, announced that Jamie Claire Kiser and Christina Zweig Niehues have joined the ownership team. Kiser and Niehues join Chad Clinehens, Zweig Group’s CEO, and Mark Zweig, founder and chairman, in the ownership pool while also serving on the company’s board of directors. Announcing the appointment to the company, Zweig said, “We are excited to add Jamie Claire and Christy to the ownership team as we expand leadership roles and focus on growing the company.” “Being an owner is recognition that I am instrumental in building something, and that I am accountable in a different way to each employee in what I do to build this company,” said Kiser. “I am looking forward to setting a tone as an owner that I hope makes other people want to be more and achieve more.” Kiser started with the company in 2015 with an initial focus on mergers and acquisitions and expanded her role last year to lead all of the company’s consulting services, which lead the firm in growth in 2017. “Ownership in Zweig Group represents my commitment to bring value to both our clients and employees,” said Niehues. “I look forward to continuing to build something that I’m proud of – an organization that helps people in the AEC industry.” Niehues started with the company in 2011, although she has benefited from watching the company grow and evolve throughout her life. She has held a variety of roles in the organization and currently is managing the marketing department. Kiser holds an MBA, Juris Doctor, and B.A. in history, all from the University of Arkansas. Kiser is a licensed attorney with prior experience in law. Niehues also holds an MBA and a B.A. in English from the University of Arkansas. KAREN R.

5)Build a new project schedule. Make sure everyone inside and outside of the firm knows what it is. Share it with all internal and external team members before the client sees it and get their feedback. 6)Start doing a weekly job status report if one isn’t being done currently. What hap- pened last week. What will happen this week. Look for special issues or problems. Share this with all team members and everyone in the client organization you can share it with. This report will help keep everyone honest and accountable. Yes – having a PM leave mid-project isn’t fun. But there is ALWAYS something you can do – even in a bad situation like this. Make sure you take action now. Time is your enemy! MARK ZWEIG is Zweig Group’s chairman and founder. Contact him at mzweig@zweiggroup.com.
