Most architecture firms are grappling with the question of how technology and data fit into their practice. For many firms, the solution is a self-contained design technology team, similar to an IT department. But at KPF, they’re championing the idea of a digital practice, where technology is a means to deliver their projects in the best way possible. It’s not just support, it’s a way of operating. In this episode, BIM Practice Manager Veronica Quintero and Senior BIM Specialist Alex Wilson explain how their team is integrated into the practice, how they help solve problems for every department, and how they stay on top of training so that everyone knows how to use relevant tools.Interview TakeawaysFoster digital expertiseKeep the focus on the practice of architectureWork with other departments to improve efficiencyCreate a flow of dataBuild a project dashboardCollaborate as an industryTrain with accountabilityIncentivize training by tying it to career progressUplevel skillsHarvest journals to understand what problems are recurringValue soft skills in leadersCreate opportunities for advocacyShow LinksCheck out KPF and follow them on LinkedIn or TwitterConnect with Veronica Quintero on LinkedInConnect with Alex Wilson on LinkedInConnect with George Valdes on LinkedIn or TwitterCheck out MonographFollow Monograph on LinkedIn or InstagramListen and read more about Monograph
