Connected Workflows & Practical AI

How do we move AI from hype to helpful in civil and site design? Live from AU 2025, ISG’s Jason Douglas shares how connected workflows across Forma, Revit, Civil 3D, and ACC are becoming real; why fast, responsive partners matter; and how Dynamo scripts eliminated version ping-pong to save time in production. We dig into training at scale, automation wins, and what it takes to keep multidisciplinary teams in sync. You’ll learn: How connected workflows across Forma, Revit, Civil 3D, and ACC are breaking down data silos in AEC Why practical automation—like Dynamo scripting—creates real productivity gains for design teams What strong partnerships and responsive support mean for successful tech adoption How AI is shifting from hype to helpful through applied machine learning and predictive tools Ways to keep multidisciplinary teams aligned and trained as technology evolves Why communication and collaboration matter more than ever in achieving digital transformation   MEET OUR GUEST Jason Douglas is a CAD Manager at ISG, with roots in civil design and a passion for practical tech. After starting in architectural drafting, he shifted to civil, became a go-to champion for software adoption, and now leads standards, support, and training across platforms like Civil 3D and ACC—lately extending automation with Dynamo to boost team efficiency. TODD TAKES Connected Workflows Are Becoming Real For years we’ve talked about connected construction as a vision. Now, with tools like Forma and Revit integrating more tightly with Civil 3D and ACC, we’re seeing the walls between disciplines start to come down. This isn’t theory anymore—it’s the beginning of a truly unified way to design, build, and manage projects. Partnerships Drive Practical Innovation Innovation isn’t just about software features; it’s about the relationships and support that make technology adoption possible. The right partner listens, responds quickly, and helps translate tools into outcomes. That kind of support accelerates adoption and creates measurable productivity gains across teams. AI and Automation Need to Deliver Value AI has dominated headlines, but the real impact comes when it moves from hype to reality. Practical applications—whether through automation in ACC, Dynamo scripts in Civil 3D, or predictive insights—are what will change daily workflows. The key is building trust in the technology so it’s seen as a time-saver, not a risk.   More Resources  Thanks for listening!
