There is no phase in the human language that has killed more innovative ideas as ‘we’ve always done it that way’. But at no point in recent memory has the past been less representative of the future than it is right now. For decades business innovation has been seen as a nice to have (usually undertaken by a small group of people wearing skinny jeans and turtle necks) but in less than a year Covid-19 has turned innovation into a global imperative.

At its core, innovation is the ability to question that status quo, make changes and create value. In this session Simon will not only present some of the opportunities and emerging risks that this rapid change has brought with it, he’ll demonstrate how you can use technology in a way that is delivers engagement and value to your clients and customers. This isn’t a session about new wiz bang technologies, it’s ultimately a session about how we need to change our mindset, rethink our work and find opportunities where technology can be used to leverage our humanity.

The workplace of today is rapidly evolving, and it is not enough for firms to have a grasp of the latest BIM/VDC technologies. We must embrace more holistic digital transformation strategies that drive towards standardized processes and information and allow work to be done from anywhere.

Attendees will hear how Southland’s digital transformation strategy has helped to drive towards increased standardization across the company while also preparing the company for a distributed and remote workforce.

The team will share the Innovation planning processes, internal collaboration, as well as the implementation processes that have been developed to help drive digital transformation across the organization.

Attendees will benefit from hearing real examples of company-wide rollouts and challenges through engineering, BIM, fabrication and the field, including lessons learned and successes realized on projects.

With recent world events and the rapidly increasing transition to remote work this session will cover valuable insights into the platforms and technologies that can help remote workers access and collaborate on their data while maintaining the momentum of digital change.

As the  population grows, the demand for new and restored buildings and  infrastructure is forcing architects, engineers and contractors to rethink  the things they make, how they make them, and the way they work.

Hear from  Kyle Bernhardt, Autodesk, Inc.’s Director of Strategy for Building Design at  Autodesk, on how the industry is adapting to the need to design and build  more, but do it with less negative impact on the environment.

On 8 May 2020, drawing upon ideas from a global panel of industry such as Matt Gough and academic leaders, Co-authors, Alain Waha and Sumit Oberoi presented 21 recommendations for how to transform the building and construction process.

The paper encourages leaders from both government and industry to shift towards an industrialised model of construction to help lead the sector through the COVID-19 recovery, simultaneously delivering higher-performing and more sustainable built assets.

The recommendations are framed around four areas in which Sumit will moderate discussion upon: 

1. The reorganisation of the status-quo operating model; 
2. Use economic stimulus measures to invest in and catalyse innovation;
3. Look for ways to unearth cutting-edge supply chains; and
4. Prioritise high-performance, low carbon buildings.

This promises to be an exciting panel discussion atthe annual forum. The session will support the leadership presented during theforum on the current state of play whilst setting a framework for the future ofIC.
