Human in the Lead: Building a Better Data Strategy with ARKANCE

New Design-Build Delivers Podcast episode examines how project data can retain its value across the project lifecycle.

Project teams generate mountains of data. The harder question is whether any of it reaches the people who need it or how it survives the handoff to the next phase.

In Part 1 of a two-part Design-Build Delivers Podcast conversation, ARKANCE’s Tobias Scheele and Nick Miller join DBIA’s Director of Virtual Design and Construction Brian Skripac to examine what a better data strategy can help architecture, engineering and construction leaders accomplish. Where does information most often break down? What are the warning signs that data chaos is coming? And how can teams use automation while keeping the human in the lead?

Part 2 arrives at the end of August, when the conversation turns to AI, digital twins and the decisions organizations should make before investing in new technology.
