What happens in Vegas doesn’t have to stay there. We share five key takeaways from the 2016 Autodesk University event, complete with links to watch some of the best sessions online.
4. Get over your BIM hangover!
James Vandezande, Director of Design Technology at HOK explored the concept of a ‘BIM hangover’ in his session exploring habits of highly effective BIM managers.
In an engaging session (with scant mention of BIM models – #fluffykittens) James showed how to power through the hangover pain points – how to counter management demands to do BIM ‘bigger, faster and cheaper’, how to recognise the practical purpose of all you do, and how to ensure managers don’t promise beyond what is possible.
Developing the ‘soft skills’ required for new roles in leadership and support is often overlooked and James’ session looked in detail at developing effective plans for practical BIM implementation.
