  • Episode 40 : Construction Crossroads: Innovation, Legacy, and the Future Workforce with David Hernandez
    Part of the Construction Executives Live Program

    The construction industry has critical challenges facing us today, a confluence of three industry trends that can seriously disrupt the industry:
    • The clash between traditional processes (both in actual construction and project management)
    • The rapid rise of technology to stream those processes.
    • A growing generational gap.
    With seasoned professionals nearing retirement and a wave of young talent entering the field, the construction workforce is caught in a transition unlike any other. How can we leverage technology to honor the legacy of experienced workers while equipping the next generation to lead the future of construction? Is technology eroding the craftsmanship and processes that have stood the test of time—or can it be the key to bridging this gap?

    It’s time to meet at the crossroads and build a stronger, more connected construction workforce.
