“Anything is possible with the right incentive and capital.” Click the link below if you’re interested in how aligned incentives and insane capital can move mountains - proven by the amazing semiconductor industry. In this article we look at how and why Chip manufacturers continually improve and some thoughts on what lessons construction can take from it. I really enjoyed learning about this industry and I’m amazed by the numbers involved, insane! 🤯 It’s about a 10min read. Let me know what you think. https://lnkd.in/emu29iqC

Thoughts on why data-driven may not be all it’s cracked up to be - with a bright side of how you might reframe and rethink. To summarise: “Show me the incentive, I’ll show you the outcome”, the map is not the territory, and radical uncertainty - plus a few other thoughts. Let me know what you think. Post script: in reality I don’t think construction is using enough data. Nonetheless we can still fall into the same traps.

It can’t all just be a race to get quicker on your projects. You must bring with that increased speed the appropriate reliance and robustness - rigour - to your processes.

If you’re an established BIM professional this one’s NOT for you 😊 This one’s for the project, bid, and commercial manabers. https://lnkd.in/em5_CGMF Enjoy, leave your comments below 👇

🔍 Exploring the True Value of BIM in Construction 🏗️ BIM, Information Management, and Digital Engineering are game-changers in our industry. However, their implementation isn’t always straightforward and can sometimes lead to unexpected costs—a phenomenon known as ‘BIM Bankruptcy’. In my latest article, I break down how to harness BIM effectively, using Lean principles to identify and eliminate waste. From reducing unnecessary transportation to avoiding overproduction, these insights are crucial for maximizing project efficiency. Interested in learning how to get the most out of BIM and avoid common pitfalls? Dive into the full article below 👇 #Construction #BIM #LeanThinking #DigitalEngineering #ProjectEfficiency

What can construction and BIM learn from the Enron scandal? Why is BIM and Information Management still not adopted at scale? This article looks at complexity - why it exists and how it impacts adoption. This could be an emotive subject, feel free to discuss - and please share which those who may have their own opinions.
