In this episode, our host sits down with Jordan Lawver to get his thoughts on disJointed and the problems facing decision-making in the built environment.

Jeff Sample, Join Industry Evangelist, and Meirav Oren, CEO and Co-Founder of Versatile, founded on the belief that construction can be as efficient and methodical as manufacturing – if the right insights are available. Oren highlights that great teams work with full transparency in the tech industry, mentioning the power that data holds in and of itself. Within the tech industry we take the data and use our own truth, making our own improvements and later deciding what part of the process we can actually improve on. Re-emphasizing that data is only as good as what you can do with it

In Oren’s own words, “over the years it has been incredible to watch what the industry is capable of and where we still have to go” for years to come. Whether it has to do with the willingness to use the data we collect or the trepidation, the fear around using it, we gain an insight on how to unlock the true potential of the industry as a whole, providing better products for our customers.

This week on DisJointed, I am joined by Hugh Seaton, General Manager of Crosswalk by CSI, author of The Construction Technology Handbook, and the host of the “Constructed Futures” podcast and “Data in Construction.” In his podcasts, Hugh talks to people in the construction industry, ranging from software companies to people on the data side, the architecture side, and so on.

Seaton dives into what he does at CSI and conversations with people on how to figure out what to do with all data information in the growing world of technology. They’ll explore the analogy that data is the new oil in our world. You can’t do anything with oil in the ground, it needs to be refined to do something with it, shedding light on the idea that data by itself is useless without turning it into something and figuring out what it means. With the fundamental processes underneath data, they’ll explore what seems to be simple questions with a broader scope: What is data, what is it good for, and why should I care?
