Seeing a better way is one thing. Getting teams, workflows, and leadership to move together is something else entirely.

In this video, we look at why digital change is so difficult in construction and project delivery, even when the benefits seem obvious. The challenge is rarely just about software. It is about habits, disconnected priorities, informal approvals, fragmented systems, and the lack of a shared structure that can survive real project pressure.

This lesson explores why so many workflow improvements lose momentum, why BIM problems are often really process problems, and why lasting digital transformation requires more than just good intentions. It needs connected processes, practical training, and leadership support.

In this video, you'll learn:
- Why digital change often sounds easier than it really is
- How habits, shortcuts, and survival tactics keep old workflows in place
- Why teams often move in different directions even when they want improvement
- How disconnected priorities across design, construction, FM, and ownership create friction
- Why email approvals and split systems lead to confusion and blame
- How many BIM problems are really wider process and communication problems
- Why good ideas are not enough without a stronger system behind them
- How many digital leaders start as technical problem-solvers before becoming change leaders
- Why new workflows often fade without support, structure, and buy-in
- What three things are needed for lasting digital transformation to stick

This course is ideal for:
- BIM Managers
- Information Managers
- Digital Delivery Leads
- Project Managers
- BIM Coordinators
- Design teams
- Construction teams
- Anyone leading workflow improvement and digital change

If you want a clearer understanding of why digital transformation is hard and what it really takes to make change stick, this video is a strong next step.
