Todd Takes
- Let’s start by acknowledging that the world of construction has more layers of complexities than is often attributed to the industry. Make sure to find and hire great people that know the industry and the problems of your customers well. It sounds fundamental, but the basics can make a big impact.
- Scott mentioned that we should think of technology as a tool. Make sure to share with others what tools, software and workflows you find value in. A rising tide lifts all boats.
- Finally, I loved Scott’s disrupt vs. respect balance and the Moneyball reference. We need to take the time to ideate on what can work better and where critical enhancements are need. Then, we blend the best of both worlds to move the industry forward. Since construction is full of incredible problem solvers, I’m convinced that the industry’s future is in good hands.
