[PDF] BIM World 2015 Redesigning the innovation code

Does BIM policy weaken the effect of innovation strategy on BIM adoption?

Apart from promoting BIM usage in China’s AEC industries, BIM policy also slightly weakens the efect of innovation strategy on BIM adoption. One possible explanation is that some less innovation intensive enterprises might join the BIM club due to policy pressure.

Will China adopt BIM in 2015?

The Singaporean government is mandating BIM, ofering incentives to early adopters; the goal is increased industry adoption, and ultimately full BIM submissions by 2015. China is witnessing a strong uptake of BIM and most entities engaged in the built environment sector seem well positioned to adopt BIM quickly.

Can BIM be used in the concept design stage?

Using BIM in the concept design stage is a recent development and is in its nascent stage in terms of mainstream industry practice. In the past most BIM implementation simply started from the detailed design stage of a project. Partly this happened due to limitations in technology, especially lack of commercially available tools.

Why is the innovation journey important for BIM implementation?

Since a huge gap between the expected and actual path exists, any deviations from an organisational-level plan may make the journey ineficient or, in extreme cases, reverse the transition. Defining important aspects of this innovation journey120 is therefore very crucial for the implementation of BIM at the organisational level.
