Todd Takes
- There is an invisible revolution happening in the industry when it comes to data. The companies that have figured that out and are seeking to optimize their data strategy have a massive leg up on the future. This requires that you do not just react to what is coming at you but take time on the front end to strategize and think through your plan.
- Don’t fall into a trap of poor self-perception. Construction is more innovative and tech-centric than what a lot of people, even in the industry, give it credit for. As Olivier said, “let go of your ordinary perceptions”. Get out of your bubble to get a better perspective on reality. Olivier also said that “innovation just through technology isn’t enough”, I more than agree. A mindset shift is required as well.
- Make sure the business model that you think you are operating in is the actual model that plays out in reality. It is so valuable to get a diversity of thought and perspectives to speak into this objectively.
