FMI Workshop: Global Insights for Fostering Trust in Construction – Technology’s Role

Jay Bowman, Managing Director, FMI | Jay Snyder, Technology and Innovation Practice Leader, FMI | Christine Acker, Product Marketing Manager, Autodesk |

“Trust is the new currency” When working with external stakeholders on a global basis, the “Trust” your organization holds is an intangible asset that is key to stronger collaboration & relationships, and ultimately drives financial performance. High trust firms have more repeat business, fewer missed schedules, and lower employee turnover. Technology plays an essential role in building trust, especially in areas like Collaboration & Communication, as well as the ability to provide a single shared data source with full transparency. In this workshop, ConTech consultancy, FMI, will be joined by Autodesk to explore how the adoption of Technology is pivotal to fostering higher trust.

What Members had to say about our US Digital Summit:

“Impressive content delivered in digestible chunks. Well done.”

“Well done, BuiltWorlds. Rather than throw in the towel, you found a different and innovative platform for the Summit. The content was even more relevant in today’s disrupted economy, so I’m very grateful to have been able to participate–even if remotely.” -Jon Pahl, Nabholz Construction.

“BuiltWorlds is a phenomenal resource for those in the AEC industry, in particular their Summit, which brings together thought leadership and practical application of innovation that can impact the industry. Thank you for pivoting to the virtual format this year in response to COVID-19 to bring this valuable content to the masses. Well done event!”
