    “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.

    Navigating the fast lane: balancing speed and resilience in information management During a recent family holiday on the Mull of Galloway, I found myself pondering the world of yacht racing and how analogies can be drawn between sailing and modern construction processes. In my latest Substack post, I explore the parallels between the speed-focused design of racing yachts and the fast-paced nature of contemporary construction. Just as yacht engineers balance speed with robustness, we in the construction industry must find a similar balance to ensure both efficiency and resilience. 🔍 Discover how: ⛵️ Modern yacht racing vessels teach us about the trade-offs between speed and durability. 🏎️ Quick information exchanges in construction can sometimes compromise quality. 💪 ISO 19650 and rigorous processes can bring back the robustness we need. Let’s dive into the lessons from the high seas and see how they can make your construction projects more sustainable, reliable, and adaptable in the face of uncertainty. 📖 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/ef5zjRtj #Construction #InformationManagement #ProjectManagement #ISO19650 #Sustainability #Innovation

    🔍 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

    📢 Maximising Value in Construction Projects: A Fresh Look at BIM, Information Management, and Digital Engineering In our industry, innovations like Building Information Modeling (BIM) promise significant value. But what happens when the costs outweigh the benefits? Enter the concept of ‘BIM Bankruptcy’. After hearing of the concept here on LinkedIn I recently explored the topic, examining how BIM can both minimise and inadvertently contribute to waste in construction projects. Drawing from Lean principles and the TIMWOODS framework, the post delves into practical strategies to ensure digital tools and processes add value rather than becoming a costly misstep. Curious to learn more about avoiding common pitfalls and optimising your BIM implementation? Click the link below ⬇️ #ConstructionManagement #BIM #LeanConstruction #ProjectManagement #Innovation

    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.

    In a recent post I basically said that maybe we as BIM specialists could be at least partially responsible for poor industry adoption. What do you think?
