Can Technology Solve Construction’s Communication & Collaboration Crisis? (A Live Episode)


Listen Later

EPISODE 426: Research shows that 13% of a construction professional’s workday is spent looking for information that they need to do their jobs. Let that sink in. But is technology alone the answer to this crisis?

In this week’s special episode, live from The ECC Future Leaders Conference, I’m joined by industry experts Tannis Liviniuk and Nathan Wood to discuss the ongoing challenges in construction communication and collaboration.

We’ll dive into how construction teams are often bogged down by using too many platforms, leading to inefficiencies and data loss.

We also tackle the importance of culture and process alignment, why owners need to understand their tech stack, the most impactful technologies to date, and more.
