We have created an engagement programme to mine the knowledge and experience of people in the industry and then refine these insights into features that we can build into the platform. Any level of input will be greatly appreciated – from filling out a 5-minute survey to leading a work stream and sitting on an advisory committee to help steer the direction of the platform. And you can opt out at any time.
It might be uncomfortable at times as we will be uniting different factions of the industry to solve problems, so we’ll be looking for pioneers and pragmatists rather than glad-handers and grandstanders. There will be room for people who want to show leadership and initiative as well as those who are happy to support and there will be fantastic networking opportunities.
But we all need to have the improvement of the industry as our core objective.
In return, you will get early access to new features and help your business be at the forefront of the industry’s transformation. Ultimately, you will be part of a unique movement to transform our industry, one which will have the financial backing and delivery expertise to actually implement the initiatives that you identify.
We see new roles emerging as part of this new ecosystem; roles that design new workflows, that interface between different stakeholder groups and manage change. We will describe our vision for these new vital roles in the very near future.
Hopefully this starts to explain our approach to the OpenBuilt initiative. You will hear a lot more from us across the coming weeks and months – it’s a very exciting time for the construction industry and the built environment.
If you feel the same way about moving the industry forward, then we want to hear from you!
We’re not sensitive. No idea or opinion is a bad one, both negative and positive feedback is welcomed, so long as you are constructive and respectful towards your fellow contributors.
