KENEN MESTA, KUKA HOITAA? -TILANNEJOHTAMISEN PROSESSIKUVAUS MONIAMMATILLISESSA TYÖYMPÄRISTÖSSÄ Satu Siimes, Mervi Valta ja Jarkko Vilhunen
Traditionally construction companies are thought to be firms with their own employees mastering various areas of expertise. In today’s construction, it is common to try to gain both expertise and cost effectiveness by employing several subcontractors, each from different specialization. As a result, tight work communities are no longer formed, successful quality control and development through feedback are harder to obtain, and work site lacks common means of communication. The aim of this study was to compile a process description of situational leadership and situational awareness for a multi-professional and multi-organizational construction project from the perspective of administration and work management. This study forms a process description of predictive situational leadership, real-time situational awareness, and communication as a part of construction site operations. The client of this study is WSP Finland Oy in Kuopio. The study was implemented as a case study, and research material was collected with interviews and perception. The main result was that a digital situation room, which is easily accessible to everyone working at a construction site, streamlines the processes of situational leadership and communication, and enhances the forming of shared situational awareness. A digital situation room enables both external and internal communication, coordinating tasks, sharing plans, following schedules, follow-ups on costs and gathering data for all operatives in the construction site, with transparency.
