Autodesk Construction Cloud is now Autodesk Forma. But what does that actually mean for the industry? In this episode of Bridging the Gap, Todd sits down with Lalith Subramanian to break down the shift from ACC to Forma and separate signal from noise. This conversation goes beyond the headline to explore what is really changing, what is staying the same, and how construction teams should be thinking about it moving forward. This is not about hype or overreaction. It is about understanding the direction of the industry and how connected data, platforms, and AI are starting to reshape how projects are delivered. You’ll Learn What the Autodesk Forma rebrand actually changes for ACC users Why this is more about direction than disruption How data is becoming the foundation across the project lifecycle Where AI is delivering real value today versus future vision What teams should be thinking about over the next 6 to 12 months Meet Our Guest Lalith Subramanian is a leader at Autodesk focused on advancing digital transformation across the construction industry. He brings deep expertise in cloud platforms, data strategy, and AI, helping shape how Autodesk connects workflows across planning, design, and construction through Autodesk Forma. Todd Takes This is more about direction than disruption The shift to Forma does not require immediate change, but it does signal where the industry is heading. The bottleneck is behavior, not technology Most teams already have the tools. The challenge is consistently working from a single source of truth. AI rewards strong data foundations The real advantage will come to companies that connect and structure their data first. More Resources Thanks for listening!
