Paul Surin, Global lead Built Environment at IBM, and active member of ISO TC442 group joins hosts Ralph Montague and John Egan for a discussion about innovation in our built environment. The construction industries are disconnected and fragmented and this is impacting our collective ability to impact to improve on our productivity as an industry. This is crucial to the success delivering against some of the most important needs on our planet, and unless it changes - We are in trouble! Paul believes that the democratisation of software and access to digital tools will drive the digital transformation of our built environment, and towards a place we need to go as an industry. Listen to what Paul has to say and how the work that he is doing in IBM with the Openbuilt platform is creating a unified approach for vendors, industry, regulators and the supply chain.
