Every year brings change, hopefully for the better. One positive change for us was the revamping of our blog. The goal was to provide a new blog that was more inviting visually, more fun (Have you read our Clients from Hell series?), and easier to navigate. Additionally, we wanted to provide more valuable content from industry experts such as Shafat Qazi (BQE CEO and Founder) and Steven Burns, FAIA, to help our readers in the professional services industries improve their chances of success. As 2012 comes to a close we thought we’d look back on some of our more popular blog posts. The following are the top 5 posts of 2012.
