Day 5 - Peer Review

12 Days of GBA – Day 5: Peer Review Summary Tiffany Vorhies and Ryan White present a year-end series highlighting their favorite GBA resources, counting down from Day 12 to Day 1. GBA's Peer Review—named by Engineering News Record as one of 125 most innovative developments in 125 years—provides structured, confidential assessment of firm management practices. Tiffany deep-dives into the process, explaining the nine core components: business management, facilities/technical resources, HR, professional development, project management, financial management, marketing/sales, electronic resources, and image/culture. Firms choose onsite or virtual reviews, supported by staff and client surveys. Many insurers offset costs. Recommended cadence: every 4-5 years. The process includes oral feedback plus written reports—actionable improvement tools without grades or certification. Special thanks to David Sauls and Bob Rabeler.
