The Global BIM Network has officially launched the Public Sector Construction Digital Transformation Playbook to make it easier to find information, ideas and inspiration on construction digital transformation.
In recent years, there has been consistent growth in the number of public sector-led BIM and wider construction digital transformation programmes worldwide.
The playbook aims to accelerate and grow the benefits of BIM implementation and digital transformation of construction by allowing users to identify common good practice from around the world.
A common approach can accelerate national efforts on digital transformation through collaboration and sharing best practice, minimise costs by avoiding wasted effort and create more impactful programmes by drawing on what has already been successful, the network added.
Global digital knowledge base
The playbook complements, adds context to, and links directly to the network’s Information Collection. This digital knowledge base of over 500 resources from over 65 countries includes articles, guidance and policy documents to facilitate the introduction of BIM. Both the playbook and the Information Collection are free online resources.
The playbook is primarily targeted at public sector and multi-lateral organisations, but many of the principles, methodologies and processes can also be adopted by the private sector, the network said.
In addition, it offers academia an insight into the challenges and opportunities around public sector transformation programmes. Academics can use the playbook to demonstrate a robust and tested approach to digital transformation, which is scalable and adaptable to many different contexts around the world.
The experience can be personalised through the free MyPlaybook, function which enables users to save their most useful sections from the playbook for quick access later. Once registered, users can simply click on the Save button on any page of the playbook to collate their own selected content.
Global BIM Network chair Adam Matthews said: “The purpose of the playbook is to make sense of all the information that we have collated. It will help people find what’s most relevant to them and support them on their digital transformation journey.”
