Building a strong VDC program: Formula for Success

The last decade has been an exciting time in the AEC industry with the high adoption of BIM and Virtual Design & Construction. We are beginning to see a transformation from "Hollywood BIM" to VDC Driven Outcomes.
We've been asked on numerous occasions about Mortenson's VDC program. The formula is pretty simple, however, even the simplest recipes can be challenging.
Formula:
(Top Down Leadership + Bottom Up Innovation) x Time = Value
The constants are leadership and field driven innovation. The only true variable that defines success is Time (in years). Leadership commits to invest in resources (people + technology). Project Team integrates VDC into operating procedures, document, knowledge share and continuous improvement. And of course, keep score. Measure performance...
From the Early days of VDC to today's VDC driven outcomes and looking into what's next, we've shared our experience on our new VDC Journey website.
