Hey y'all,

Since it's now past September 8 when reporting was due, I'm thinking all those that were going to report as part of this round have now done so. I know AIA will assemble an industry-wide report, but I'm also very interested in the less polished conversation that allows all of us to trade experiences and just see how this went. Where did we run into trouble? What questions did we struggle with? Having reported once, what are we all now feeling like we need to do in our firms?

If anyone's up for this conversation in an informal "safe space" kind of way, please respond back to this thread by end of day on Friday, 9/13/2024, and I'll try and canvass us for an hour to discuss next week (not that the conversation will happen next week, just that I'll start trying to canvass us for availability next week).

I'm also interested - full disclosure we did not report as we just signed the pledge last month. I am working on making our standards more actionable and trackable so we can report next year. I would be interested to hear about everyone's experience though if you don't mind a fly on a the wall.

EDR just signed last month but went ahead and reported so we could feel good about how much we've improved with next year's reporting. The reporting for the firm and a few projects was obvious enough, but the Product Level Questions section at the end did not have any context or explanation (probably discussed in an web call we missed) so we didn't fill that out. Interested in the follow-up call you are organizing.
