Objectives:
- The push towards digitalisation has been rapidly accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The future of infrastructure projects requires both an understanding of how digital transformation can be implemented and how to embrace digitalisation to stay competitive by bringing change to the future of the infrastructure industry.
- Projects are getting more and more complex involving increased stakeholder coordination. The use of digital and the need to have a digital strategy in place is critical to ensure success.
- Identifying the appropriate competencies involves combining the right level of social interaction with the right depth of knowledge of the design process and the use of BIM tools.
- Major projects are of a long duration and need to be agile enough to accommodate innovation and advances in technology to ensure requirement changes and expectations are met.
Case Study: Crossrail – The Creation of a Digital Railway
This session will illustrate how Crossrail created its digital and data environment with practical examples and lessons learned in smart information management and creating a digital BIM environment, including:
- Digital basics: what is really needed to drive better outcomes;
- Creating a true collaborative data environment;
- How to encourage innovation.
Lessons learned and problem areas are highlighted, but the evidence of benefits in going digital – by focusing on the endgame and reshaping work practices into workflows with digital tools - is made clear to those who want to improve both their project and infrastructure performance.
Learning Outcomes:
- Gain an understanding of the roles of and importance of a Digital Management Office (DMO) within a project organisation;
- Gain an understanding of the setup and challenges of operating a DMO;
- Understand what are the digitalisation strategies that can increase management effectiveness and productivity;
- Understand how projects can accommodate innovation and technology changes;
- Understand the key issues for creating a digital strategy;
- Be aware of how environmental and health requirements will impact the new normal in construction;
- Be aware of the skillsets of the people involved.
After attending this webinar, you will be able to:
- Appreciate how to approach digitalisation in infrastructure projects;
- Identify the key components in the setup and operation of a Digital Management Office (DMO);
- How to prepare for a new norm in construction.
