BIM Implementation - Putting People First
A one day training course that explores the behavioural, cultural and leadership changes required to successfully implement BIM across projects and organisations. The programme focuses on the people side of BIM implementation, recognising that successful change depends on leadership, communication and collaboration rather than technology alone.
The course emphasises the importance of motivating individuals and teams to adopt new ways of working and provides guidance on the personal and organisational skills needed to embed BIM processes effectively. Participants will gain an understanding of how to support and lead teams through the cultural shift associated with BIM implementation, including defining clear roles and responsibilities.
Sessions explore the attributes of effective decision makers in a BIM-enabled environment, including:
- Change management
- Good governance
- Communication skills
- Stakeholder management
- Collaborative working practices
- Project risk management
- Roles and responsibilities
- Continuous improvement Infrastructure case studies demonstrate how project managers, engineers and technicians can apply BIM principles in practice.
This course completes the learning pathway required to achieve the ICE Certificate for BIM, following the Foundation and BIM in Practice courses.

Steven's comments on the training:
The implementation of BIM is not simply about technologies and processes.
Absolutely key is communication and collaboration. You have these skills.
All you need to do is recalibrate them for a BIM context. This course will show you
how. ![]()
