Leveraging The Collaborative Approach
This presentation speaks to the journey and benefits of adopting the latest trends in the collaborative approach to Design and Construction. It is presented by an industry pioneer and leader in this new methodology in Canada.You will hear how digital technologies, such as Revit, Revizto, TimeLiner and Navisworks to name just a few, supports and enhances the collaborative approach and is paramount to delivering value to the end users of any project.While bringing people together in a BigRoom is a good start, developing a high performing team starts with creating the right team culture - a shared team ideology binds people together and defines how healthy value-based interactions occur. To most effectively use the Tools and Digital Technologies, the team is best served through aligning behaviors that drive towards a collective and measurable goals.
