Leadership Tools: Quote: BIM is 10% technology and 90% sociology. Scott Simpson. Book: BIM and Construction Management by Brad Hardin and Dave McCool.

There is a lot of technology involved and many technical challenges.  But ultimately the biggest challenges are about talent:

  • Working collaboratively across functional areas and companies
  • Learning new things - constantly
  • Dealing with setbacks - constantly
  • Longer range project planning than is typical
  • Planning with a greater attention to detail than is typical
  • Designing for fabrication and installation with automation where possible 
  • Greater transparency across everyone on the whole project delivery team

We spend a lot of time improving workflows at the project and company level.  A high-involvement approach is nearly always best and that requires breaking down a lot of walls while building a culture of collaboration and problem solving without blame.

Building the 1000X Contractor
The craft is the foundation of the construction industry - installation delivers final value for the project owner. Aligning craft talent to build a project is difficult. Building a contracting business that consistently delivers projects is 10X harder.
Org Structure Planning (50%)
Planning for a 50% organizational structure is valuable both for contingency planning and for highlighting growth opportunities. Constraints breed creativity, and there is no greater constraint than talent.
Construction Technology Integration Failures
More construction technology integrations FAIL to meet expectations due to alignment with the talent than the capabilities of the technology. If we looked at talent and technology the same way we look at equipment we would achieve a much better return.
