BIM Implementation - Putting People First

The programme focusses on putting people first. People are at the forefront of change - it’s not the software or the technical environment you are working in, it is your ability to persuade and motivate both yourself and your team.

Having these skills will help you to bring about the changes in behaviour and culture required for the successful roll-out of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in your project or organisation. This course will provide you with an understanding of what you need to do to lead or be a member of a project team implementing BIM Level 2 culture and processes. Defining clear roles and responsibilities is a critical aspect.

Sessions cover the following key assets of a successful decision-maker:

• Change management
• Good governance
• Communication skills
• Stakeholder management
• Collaborative working practices
• Project risk
• Roles and responsibilities
• Continuous improvement

Infrastructure case studies are used to show how a project manager, an engineer or a technician can apply BIM.
