Collaboration is at the heart of the Eliminate Downtime movement. Data-sharing will be the focus of the next chapter, in the hopes that we can create a blueprint for sharing that works for the construction industry. We gathered the Eliminate Downtime committee members and their network at a first roundtable to discuss data-sharing and the benefits that it could have. Kick-starting the new chapter of the journey. We will follow it up with five hackathons, one more round table with thought leaders from construction, culminating in the creation of 1 blueprint that can serve the industry. 

This month’s readings and key questions reflect the journey that we are about to embark on. We delve into the power of collaboration and how we can benefit and take a look at how digitalization can build resilience in times when it’s needed. The final article uncovers how these changes can be implemented within your organization.
