Hidden Risks You Might Be Ignoring
In this month’s IT Bulletin, we’re shedding light on the cybersecurity threats that often go unnoticed — but can have serious consequences for businesses of any size.
If your business is not already BIM certified, you may be considering moving in that direction. There are certain guidelines of the steps you will need to take. A quick internet search may bring you more or less up to speed. Alas, It may not really prepare you for the revelatory nature of the awakening you might be about to experience, so I intend to do just that.
The process of gaining certification will be a testing one. There is every likelihood it will necessitate change in how you do things; not comprehensively, but certainly with regard to outward-looking processes involved in efficient collaboration.
This is where consistency between project partners is fundamental to shared understanding and unhindered project progression. It is where adherence to universal standards, notably ISO 19650-2, serves to minimise—if not eliminate—rework, wasted time, and avoidable costs.
Evaluating where change may be required tends not to be a straightforward process. A successful business, while committed to continuous improvement and innovation (a mandatory mindset in every competitive environment) will not necessarily take the time to look closely at the backbone of its processes and workflows if they have served the business well, and appear to continue to do so.
As you dig deeper, in preparation for BIM Certification, you’ll find degrees of ‘recalibration’ are required. The question is, how do you dig deep if you’re not entirely sure where to begin the excavations? If everything looks fine on the surface, where is it that an independent certifying body would look?
