GII is a high-profile initiative organised by McKinsey Consulting to convene leaders from around the world to pursue new solutions in major projects and infrastructure. Over the last four years, they have held summits in Rio de Janiero, San Francisco, Singapore and most recently London. Against the well-articulated shortfall in construction productivity and its lagging position in digitisation, this is a true thought leadership initiative of the highest order.<\/p>\r\n
I was delighted to be invited to represent buildingSMART at this event. Special thanks to Roz Buick from Trimble for her backing. Structured around four themes; Plan, Finance, Build and Operate the event comprised very senior representatives from around the full life cycle of built assets. Familiar buildingSMART participants included Heinz Ehrbar from Deutsche Bahn, Ros and her colleagues from Trimble, Arup was represented as were the Danish Road Authority. I had the welcome opportunity to meet important leaders from companies we hope will soon engage more fully with us such as MACE and Heathrow Airports, Bentley Systems and RIB Software<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
The growing recognition of those ideas and ambitions which have, for so long, been the deeply rooted motivations behind buildingSMART is, of course, exciting and represents at the same time a hugely demanding challenge. I was however proud, on behalf of all those who have and continue to support buildingSMART, to be part of these leadership discussions.<\/p>\r\n
