BuildOps’ Post

I started Last Week in ConTech because I saw a GLARING problem. More software solutions but low awareness and adoption amongst engineers. I felt this first hand on site when I had to markup defects on printed drawings, write notes and take photos. Life would have been easier had I known about StructionSite. Talking to my peers I wasn't alone. We would do tedious tasks not recognising that there are more efficient ways of working. To help address this issue I've been working on developing a new series. The aim is to help innovation managers and digital executives increase the adoption of technology solutions. It does so by codifying lessons learned and best practices from industry experts who have successfully implemented change programs into a centralized resource. The first article in the series is written by Nate Fuller. He started his career as an engineer contributing to the design and project management of construction projects before helping to create Bechtel Corporation’s Office of Innovation in 2016. He now runs Placer Solutions where he defines strategy and change management for construction companies. The article is on the Most Important Resource for an Innovation program. It describes the importance of identifying and engaging with Change Agents in your organization. These are your change and transformation programs 10X’ers. They are the people whom peers trust and ask for advice but are difficult to find without a structured process as they are usually on site and removed from corporate life. For the industry, the article breaks down how to find, engage and collaborate with change agents to increase the leverage and impact of your innovation program. For startups, it highlights the key employees your support and accounts team should identify. It will help escape the ‘death by pilot’ trap and allow you to organically scale at an enterprise level.
