November 6, 2024 | 2 min read

We hosted a knowledge management roundtable recently with 25+ experts from AEC. Curious what we learned? Here are 3 key takeaways

Key Takeaway #1 of 3: Knowledge Management is a priority, but not well supported by technology or proven processes. Check out the attached poll response to dive into the details of how world class AEC organizations are capturing, managing, and consuming lessons learned within their organizations today.

“We see a mix of firms keeping retrospective data local to project teams, and then others who are trying to centralize the data and learn from it. We think there’s value in centralizing it.” – Angus Frost, Sr Technical Consultant at Burger Consulting Group

Key Takeaway #2 of 3: Data Mining is on the rise. Safety Logs, RFI’s, and Field Observations just to name a few datapoints. Check out the attached poll response to see more. Where is untapped value within your business?

“Our challenge right now is figuring out how to analyze all the masses of retrospective data we collected over the years and hopefully use AI to pull out some trends.” – Kim Whitehead, Ph.D., CKM, Knowledge Manager at Brasfield & Gorrie, LLC.

Key Takeaway #3 of 3: Jury is in. We don’t want to have to search for knowledge. Stream it to our people, where and when they need it most. Check out the attached poll response to see this overwhelming response!

“The idea is to deliver knowledge at the project level. Look at a project schedule, see the upcoming milestones, and aggregrate knowledge resources that are relevant to those milestones and send them to the key contacts at that project.” – Cal Todd, Knowledge Manager at JE Dunn Construction
