The construction industry is gradually digitizing, which bodes well for an industry that has been notoriously slow in its technology adoption relative to other sectors.<\/p>\n

Technology is important in construction project management, but the people who use it are even more so. Mobile apps, software and field technologies have been positively disrupting how projects are managed and delivered, there seems to be a corresponding concern over ensuring it doesn\u2019t negatively disrupt how individuals out in the field and in the back office do their jobs. With technology becoming more and more advanced every day, it’s no wonder people are afraid of being replaced by robots or software. Even tasks that require human knowledge and experience, like estimation, can be done by machines now.<\/p>\n

In simpler terms, construction digitalization seeks to use technology in order to make processes more efficient and optimize project workflows. In other words, the goal is to make construction technology more user-friendly \u2014 not just used by people, but for them.<\/p>\n

To “humanize” construction project management<\/a> digitalization, you can take multiple approaches so technology supports people and their jobs instead of the other way around.<\/p>\n

1. People-focused digital change management is key<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It is essential to remember that, even though technology plays a major role in all of our lives, some members of your project team may be unfamiliar with it. Such change can be difficult as it replaces the familiar. As technology becomes more advanced, people worry that\u00a0it will replace them in their job. Acknowledge this fear and reassure them that won’t happen.<\/p>\n

Creating a change management strategy for digital project management is crucial for ensuring that employees are comfortable with the new tools and technologies. This will help to reduce fears of technology taking over jobs, and encourage employees to embrace construction digitalization.<\/p>\n

It won’t happen immediately and there will, of course, be some bumps in the road. However, with the right attitude and approach, change can be positive for everyone involved. There are ways to manage the change process so that it goes more smoothly for those adopting new project management technologies. And while there are a number of technological solutions to facilitate adoption, there are also several things you can do from a purely human perspective to shift any hesitant mindsets:<\/p>\n
