Letter from the Editor

Hello AUGIWORLD readers. Welcome to the August issue focused on Management. I have been in management for several years. I can remember my first “real” management job as a CAD Manager. I lasted about 6 months before I left production and went to work for a reseller. It was not the best experience for me by any means.

Now, I am back in a managerial position as a BIM Manager, and I love it. Management can mean more than just managing a team of people. Management can also mean managing the software for your firm, managing daily workloads, or just managing a project.

As we move forward into the future, it seems we are looking more toward AI to aide in our management of daily tasks and quicker ways to accomplish this. It is said that “managers across all levels spend more than half their time on administrative coordination and control tasks. AI is said to alleviate this and automate many of these tasks”. This was taken from The Harvard Business Review in 2016!

I hope everyone enjoys this issue. We can learn a lot from each other, which is part of the purpose of this magazine.
