Often in the
construction industry a successful company doesn’t see the need to implement
new technology because they have always been successful doing things the way
they have always been done. While in the
past the “stick with what works” motto has been a recipe for success, in
today’s tech savvy world it is a recipe for failure.
“The biggest failure
however is to believe that past success will continue. On the contrary, past
success during the industrial economy is one of the biggest obstacles to
innovation and success in the knowledge economy.” Stated Claude Legrand,
managing partner of ideaction, inc, in a recent article published on HR.com
Technology provides
huge advantages to traditional means of collecting information from remote
projects. Savings in time, savings in
money, more productive employees, better project control, are just a few ways
that technology provides an advantage.
If your largest competitor is improving their business with technology while
you “stick with what works,” who will end up ahead?
