= Introduction =

The data revolution is upon us but the construction industry is a long way from where it needs to be. Digitisation is a demanding process that is inextricably linked to the behaviour and mindset of the sector. Many people wrongly perceive the shift to digital as a continuous and linear process which will keep developing no matter what.

In September 2018, McKinsey and Company published detailed and informative research about the steps that every sector needs to take to introduce a healthy data culture. Ref [https://www.mckinsey.com/business-functions/mckinsey-analytics/our-insights/why-data-culture-matters https://www.mckinsey.com/business-functions/mckinsey-analytics/our-insights/why-data-culture-matters]

Bringing construction and analytics together can be much easier if the following five principles are taken into account:

= 1. Committing to a healthy data culture is forever =

The development of a data culture is a continuous process. Commitment is required from all industry stakeholders if this vital transformation to succeed.

Cameron Davies (NBCU) suggested that the enforcement of a data culture as ‘CEO-mandated’ is unlikely to succeed. The uninterrupted connection between all decision-makers and stakeholders in charge of data systems and processes is of paramount importance as they work closely towards a common goal.

= 2. Data as the basis of the decision-making process =

There is a common misconception not only in construction but in every other industry that that data as simply a challenging experiment. In fact, it is a sincere, scientific endeavour to improve the decision-making process. Every data-related effort should result in the resolution of a specific problem.

= 3. Quality over quantity =

One of the lest appropriate phrases in relation to data is 'the more, the merrier'.

The amount of data that can be produced in the construction industry is enormous, but this brings the danger that stakeholders get lost in a sea of data that they don’t know how to use. There should always be a specific reason for the collection of data and a carefully elaborated framework for its analysis.

Ibrahim Gokcen, Chief Digital Officer at A.P. Moller Maersk, suggests that when it comes to data the problem isn’t the amount, but rather its alignment to the objectives of the organisation.

= 4. The democratization of data =

Data should be open to all levels of an organisation.

It is difficult to impose change if people do not understand the concept; they have to see how it will improve the way they work. Decision-makers need to understand that taking the time to show their teams the benefits of data can actually accelerate the change.

Boeing CIO, Ted Colbert said; “When people begin to believe in the data, it’s a game changer: They begin to change their behaviors, based on a new understanding of all the richness trapped beneath the surface of our systems and processes”.

= 5. Finding data-driven talent and workforce =

In the end, everything comes down to finding the right people to implement change.

The construction industry has a unique opportunity to attract young, ambitious talent with a data background. This talent boost could help accelerate change and facilitate the introduction, development and implementation of a healthy [http://bit.ly/2zodZs9 data culture].

= Conclusion =

The power of habit and problematic contractual relations are two of the main obstacles the industry needs to overcome if it is to create a healthy data culture. The connection of analytics with existing systems and processes is a complex process which demands continuous commitment and the inclusion of all industry stakeholders.

Five steps to a healthy data culture in construction

2018-11-20T11:13:27Z

GenieBelt:

= Introduction =

The data revolution in construction is underway but this doesn’t mean that the industry is today where it is supposed to be. To the contrary, digitization is a long and very demanding procedure which is inextricably connected to the patterns and the mindset of the sector.

Despite the heated discussion around this topic, there are still many who wrongly perceive this paradigm shift as a continuous and linear process which will keep developing no matter what. That is one of the most dangerous mistakes that the construction industry can make.

Just a while ago, McKinsey and Company published a detailed and extremely informative research on the steps that every sector needs to take in order to introduce and eventually implement a healthy data culture.

Bringing construction and analytics together can be much easier if the following five principles are taken into account:

= Committing to a healthy data culture is forever =

First things first, an element that has to be clear from day one has is the realisation that the development of a data culture is a continuous process. Serious commitment from all industry stakeholders is required in order for this vital transformation to proceed.

As smartly mentioned by Cameron Davies (NBCU), the enforcement of a data culture as ‘CEO-mandated’ can’t get you that far. The uninterrupted connection between all decision-makers and stakeholders in charge of data systems and processes is of paramount importance.

Like that, the notion of transparency both in the organisation and the sector can be empowered as everyone will stay on the same page and work closely toward the common goal.

= Data as the basis of the decision-making process =

Our second point refers to a very common misconception not only in construction but in every other industry that has a connection with data. It’s wrong to understand data as a challenging experiment instead of a sincere scientific endeavour to improve the decision-making process.

In that sense, the onset of every data-related effort should be the resolution of a specific problem instead. Only then, you will be able to design, develop, and eventually implement a functional and precise data strategy.

= Quality over quantity =

One of the most misleading phrases that we keep hearing in regard to data is that the more you have the merrier. That is a direct continuation of the misunderstanding that we described in the previous point.

Especially in construction, the amount of data that is produced on a daily basis is behemoth. That being said, there is a very big danger that construction stakeholders can get lost in a sea of data that they don’t know how to use.

There should always be a specific reason for the collection of data and a carefully elaborated framework for its analysis. Ibrahim Gokcen, Chief Digital Officer at A.P. Moller Maersk, underlines that when it comes to data the actual problem isn’t the lack of data but its alignment to the objectives of the organisation.

= The democratization of data =

The implementation of data in an industry doesn’t happen overnight. A very important element, though, that should never be ignored is that data should be open to all levels of the organisation.

You cannot impose such a groundbreaking shift if you don’t get your people excited for the entire concept of data first. Try to make understand how analytics can improve the way they work and what are the points of value that data can bring to the table.

“When people begin to believe in the data, it’s a game changer: They begin to change their behaviors, based on a new understanding of all the richness trapped beneath the surface of our systems and processes”, underlines, Boeing CIO, Ted Colbert.

That is an area where construction needs to work a bit harder and smarter. Industry decision-makers need to understand that by showing to their teams the multiple benefits of data they can accelerate the change.

= Finding data-driven talent and workforce =

No matter how much we discuss data and its importance, at the end of the day, everything comes down to a very crucial parameter: finding the right people to implement this change and take you safely to the digital era.

At the moment, the construction sector has a unique opportunity to attract young, ambitious talent with a data background. This could establish a convincing new beginning for the industry given the serious lack of a skilled workforce that is currently battling against.

A talent boost of such magnitude can accelerate the ongoing change and facilitate considerably the introduction, development, implementation of a healthy data culture in construction.

Interestingly enough, though, the market isn’t able to fully cover this lack of a tech-savvy workforce in construction, yet. That is because there aren’t enough candidates with the right background. Nevertheless, the good news is that this is anticipated to change decisively within the next decades as more focus is being put in that direction.

= Synopsis =

The power of habit and the problematic contractual relations are two of the main obstacles that the construction industry needs to overcome in its effort for a healthy data culture. The connection of analytics with the existing systems and processes is a long process which demands continuous commitment and the inclusion of all industry stakeholders.

Construction project manager - morning tasks

2017-03-17T08:57:47Z

GenieBelt:

A construction project manager occupies a very big position with big responsibilities. Their days are usually busy and the whole project including those working for the project depend on his/her sound decisions. A wrong decision can lead to the project being cancelled, started over, or closed indefinitely. That is why it is important that whoever occupies this position utilizes skills learned and experience gained to [https://geniebelt.com/blog/construction-project-management-processes-everything-need-know manage projects]. The most productive part of the day has been proven to be the morning because that is the time a human’s brain has been rebooted and is open to new ideas. There are a few things successful project managers do at the start of their day which every other project manager should follow.

== Work Out ==

You should develop a workout routine for your mornings for they help relieve your body of the previous day’s tiredness. You should work out before showering or taking breakfast to have your body perform at optimal level. A 30 minutes workout is perfect if you have less time to spare in the mornings.

== Reviewing the previous day’s work ==

Regardless of how busy the day ahead is, successful project managers take time to go through the previous day’s work. They review every aspect of the project to see if the project is moving forward as expected or it is stalling. This process gives them humble time to think through plans and strategies before getting to the construction site.

== Communicating With Stakeholders ==

In the morning, mot project stakeholders are not extremely busy and this is a good time to update them on the progress of the project. You can phone clients and have small talk. This is also the perfect time to read and write emails because you will not get time to do all this once you get at the site. Make sure you have zero pending unread messages before leaving for work.

== Schedule day’s tasks ==

Before you start a project, you create an overall schedule that will serve as your timeline for the project. You also need to schedule daily tasks that you will achieve. Set tasks for your team as well and you will have an easy time at the site.

== Analyze Departments ==

At a construction site, each department handles a different task and their collective efforts are what lead to a successful project completion. You need to monitor and analyze the workings of each department which will tell you if they are being productive or not. You can draw new strategies to motivate dragging departments by assigning them more responsibilities or re-assigning some responsibilities from overwhelmed department of your workforce.

== Check Resources ==

You do not want to be caught off guard when resources get depleted take some time to analyze how the resource have been used the previous day to avoid having to strain your budget. A daily analysis is much better than a scheduled analysis because you are in a position to act fast. For instance, if a certain department is overusing resources, you can reassign some of the resources to other departments facing shortages.

== How To Achieve All These Tasks In The Morning ==

The morning time is important because this is the only time during workday that you get to sit down with your family and bond. Utilizing this time is crucial and there are some project managers who are too busy such that they lack time to even communicate with their families. If you are still managing projects the paperwork way, you will have to choose between family and work in the morning.

Most [https://geniebelt.com/blog/construction-project-manager-infographic construction project managers] have adopted digital platforms to help centralize the whole project management process. With project management tools, you are able to do everything from a central point. If you have a cloud based web solution, you will be able to send emails, write memos, monitor and analyze data, allocate resources, set duties, update clients and communicate to all departments all from your computer or mobile phone.

Project management solutions are the secret used by successful project managers in the construction industry. If you are looking for a solution to unload the busy schedule you face once you get to the site, project management solution is the answer. You can offload most of the work that doesn’t require labour in the morning while at home.
