Background
Mussett Nicholas Associates has been a beacon of architectural and engineering consultancy for over six decades, serving diverse sectors like biopharma, education, and industrial facilities. Under the guidance of Nick Thompson, Manager of Professional Operations, the firm has embarked on a journey towards operational excellence and strategic foresight with Mosaic.

In 2024, Mussett Nicholas Associates successfully expanded its team by 10 members while avoiding additional hires in operations, with the help of the efficiencies gained from Mosaic. This strategic avoidance of hiring additional operational staff underscored Mosaic's impact on optimizing workflow and resource management. Additionally, the firm experienced a turnover rate well below the industry average, highlighting the positive effect of improved workload management and employee satisfaction.
