8.30 Workshop A: Creating a Culture of Innovation to Support Business Improvement
Closing the disconnect between technology purchasers and end users to support effective technology integration is crucial to maximize the efficacy of new implementations. Weaving innovation into your organization’s culture sets the foundations to ensure your people embrace new ideas and technologies.
Collaborate with your fellow leaders to:
- Understand what it means to have an ‘innovation mindset’ at different layers of the organization
- Discuss the most effective approaches to keep innovation and improvement opportunities front of mind for all employees, even at times of relative disruption
- Review how change management strategies must evolve at different stages of the culture curve to ensure the ‘snowball effect’ as you continue to get traction

Join this interactive workshop to understand data management strategies that will give your firm a competitive advantage through:
- Building the data infrastructure to integrate, order and enable easy access to the vast amounts of data being generated by modern day mega-projects
- Integrating information gained from large scans, images, and point cloud files into usable data formats

3.30 Workshop D: Enhancing Tech Stack & Organizational Spend Efficiency Without Stifling Innovation Across Different Offices & Regions
As organizations scale, innovation can begin to spiral as individual projects and offices have their own budgets and needs. Therefore,
finding ways to stay on top of and manage the vast number of new technologies being trialled or adopted at any given time, and identifying opportunities for scale outside of these silos to maximize ROI and efficiency, is vital to keep your organization at the forefront of world-class services and delivery.
Join this workshop to:
- Understand how you can efficiently track what technology is being explored and adopted across various locations and offices
- Better manage contracts with vendors to reduce duplication across the enterprise: How can you expand individual to enterprise deals with maximum cost efficiency?
- Ensuring effective sharing and learning systems across different implementation teams to establish best practice and improve consistency of adoption
