Kris Lengieza is Field Chief Innovation Officer at Procore Technologies where he channels his passion for construction and technology to drive meaningful change in our industry. Mike Petrusky asks Kris about his experiences hosting the "Power of Construction" podcast, with his colleague, Sasha Reed. They explore the strong alignment between construction and facilities management, especially around the use and handover of data throughout the asset lifecycle. Kris says that the construction process represents only about 20% of an asset's lifecycle, with operations and maintenance of the building encompassing the rest, so FM leaders must demand better collaboration and data flow between stakeholders. Technological advancements like AI and automation are poised to fundamentally change how documentation and decision-making are handled, so Kris encourages upskilling, a focus on soft skills and digital literacy as we head into the future of the built environment. Mike and Kris agree that music, generational connections, and human experiences will always play an important role in building culture and bridging gaps in the industry, so they offer the inspiration you need to be an Asset Champion in your organization!
