Training for the future

INNOVATION

“Data is an enabler of change.” she said. “It is the one source of truth in any organisation, providing a higher level of efficiency and effectiveness.” To achieve this requires a huge shift in mind-set to a point where decisions previously made at senior level based on tenure and experience are now made on evidence of progress and data available.

Gavin Morrow, managing director of Washirika 3 Oaks, South Africa concurs that buy-in to the digital transformation by staff is essential. The transition time-frame will vary from company to company, although in their experience this was achieved in a mere 12 months, enabling full operational control over projects and sites worldwide, all in real-time.

CONCLUSION

This enlightening conference shared by RIB CCS comes as a wake-up call that the time for construction companies to migrate to a fully digital operation is now – more than ever before. Clearly this is not only for competitive advantage, but more significantly to enable enhanced efficiency, effective management and sustainability across every single element of the business and construction arenas.

ABOUT RIB

RIB, “Recheninstitut im Bauwesen”, was founded in 1961 by Prof. Dr.Ing Volker Hahn, Prof. Dr. Drs. h.c. Fritz Leonhardt, Prof. Dr.-Ing. F.W. Bornscheuer and six other employees. Even at this early stage, bridges could be calculated electronically. Using the new IBM 1620, the systematic application of EDP for structural analysis had begun.

Today this software company with worldwide activities, headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, has more than 2 700 qualified employees in more than 25 countries and serves 100 000 customers worldwide.

RIB MISSION

RIB’s mission was included in the iTWO Manifesto, first signed by top visionaries of the construction industry at the iTWO World 2013 in Hong Kong, to reaffirm their commitment to the transformation of the construction industry. Each year the iTWO Manifesto is signed by the growing iTWO community to continue the revolution and drive the industry forward.

The integration of the virtual into the physical engineering process – iTWO Technology – is revolutionising the global construction business in the 21st century.

New technology demands new thinking and new working methods to transform construction to the most advanced industry on our planet.
