Digital transformation presents unique organizational benefits, as well as challenges, for architectural firms. It improves efficiency but requires firms to be dynamic and comfortable with the pace of change and adaptation needed to succeed. In turn, this disrupts traditional work processes, putting pressure and stress on the workforce, affecting productivity. The digital journey is quickly emerging as a key differentiator for firms and has introduced new collaboration methods, along with emerging intelligent automation technologies such as robotic process automation (RPA) and artificial intelligence (AI). While these can energize innovation within the company, they can just as easily bring confusion, inefficiency and disruption into business operations. This session will explore why architectural firms should leverage digital transformation programs and how to best do this to boost efficiency and productivity within their organizations.

Learning Objectives:

By the completion of this session, participants will be able to:

• Explain the importance of innovation within their organization.
• Outline the key components of a successful digital transformation program.
• List the five technology drivers of a data-driven enterprise.
• Describe how data can support more informed decision-making within their firm.
