Thrivence + Elevate together provide:
- Strategic Planning & Execution – Aligning business goals with scalable action plans

AEC Firms Need More Than Just Talent Acquisition – They Need Strategy
Talent challenges don’t exist in a vacuum. They’re tied to broader business strategy issues—market positioning, operational efficiency, leadership development, and the ability to execute big-picture goals.
Too many firms treat hiring and leadership as short-term fixes rather than long-term investments.
That’s where our partnership comes in. By integrating business strategy with talent and leadership solutions, we’re helping firms break the cycle of reactive decision-making to build sustainable success.
“AEC firms don’t just need more talent; they need the right strategy to develop leaders and scale effectively. With this partnership, we’re giving firms the blueprint for long-term success—combining strategy, leadership, and talent acquisition into one powerful solution.” – Paul Kleine-Kracht, CEO, Thrivence
