Should the Industry Invest in People or Technology?


July 13, 2018

Technology will not solve the AEC industry's productivity problem. People will. Of course, people will need technology to do it, but as an industry we can’t afford to forget that it is individuals, all working together, who will deliver the actual change. With the current job shortage facing our industry, how do we invest in building the workforce that can deliver on the promise technology offers? Rick Khan, (Mortenson Construction), Jeong Woo, Ph.D., (Milwaukee School of Engineering), Greg Schleusner, AIA, (HOK) and Danielle Dy Buncio (VIATechnik) offer their views and suggestions on enabling the future AEC workforce in this third installment of a four-part series of bonus content from Accelerate Live! 2018, sponsored by Bluebeam
