What can you do to encourage and support better accountability?

Who dropped the ball? – accountability through visibility

Integrated project delivery is based on trust and risk sharing, which in turn require a higher level of accountability from individual team members. But common means of communication, such as extranets and email, fail to log transmittal receipts, track action items and show who has done what.

Join us to explore how software for project information management (PIM) supports a more integrated practice by giving team members visibility into one another’s information and activities.

 
• Understand why common means of communication, such as extranets and email, fail to log transmittal receipts, track action items and show who has done what.
 
• See why tracking in a digital world has fallen short of the needs of integrated project delivery.
 
• Explore how technology can further clarify ownership, improve accountability and provide transparency for trusted team members.
 
• See how architects and engineers are improving communication and sharing information inside and outside their firms.

About our webinar series, "Project information management for integrated project delivery"

BIM technology is a well-acknowledged pillar of integrated practice for coordinating and documenting the building design. But what about all the unstructured project communications and adjunct decision-making processes that surround the model as it evolves over the duration of the project?

PIM technology is the complementary solution to BIM. It manages the information and communications around the model. It supports collaboration, accountability and trust – both inside the firm and between external team members.

"Who dropped the ball?" draws upon Newforma’s experience helping customers manage information and communications for over 120,000 projects.
