People are the important thing for any company to remember as they replace legacy technology with innovative, purpose-built tools and processes. That’s why Eric is sitting down with Jon Marks, Former CTO at Swinerton and Principal CEO at Corvus Star Consulting. 
In this episode Jon breaks down the key tactics leaders can implement to ensure they are keeping their people first. 
We discuss: 
Change management in construction is challenging to lead because there are limited opportunities to deliver change Effective delivery of change involves bite-sized learning and intentional engagement with project teams Flexibility is important for retaining talent and finding the best people for the organization The use of technology and processes is interconnected with the need for mentorship and coaching. Technology and automation in buildings can improve comfort, reduce costs, and benefit the environment.

It’s no secret that manual labor in construction can take a significant toll on the human body, and high-strain activities can have a long-term health impact for workers. 
That’s where Robotics comes in: By augmenting how workers do their jobs today, robots are helping to relieve them of the burden of many high-strain tasks, freeing workers to do their jobs faster, safer, and more efficiently. 
In this episode recorded live at Autodesk University, Eric sits down with Brooke Gemmell, Emerging Technology Partner at Skanska, to break down the current state of robotics in construction and how it will impact the industry in the coming years. 
We discuss: 
How robots make manual labor and redundant activities easier The biggest myths about robotics in construction Benefits for adopting robotics & technology Biggest obstacles to widespread adoption and how to mitigate them Best practices for successful adoption
