End of the AIM Fellowship work

The funded period of AIM Fellowship research has now drawn to a close, but the outputs of the work developed through the Fellowship have led directly onto a range of new data collection and analysis projects. The full details of the outputs of the Fellowship will be uploaded onto this site over the next month. To learn more about the ongoing work visit: http://www.reading.ac.uk/designinnovation

Design Innovation Research

Following a busy summer of conferences - the European Group for Organization Studies in Gotenburg; Engineering Project Organization Conference 2011 in Denver and the Academy of Management in San Antonio - I have been reading around the issues of coordination and finalising a couple of articles ahead of the new term.

BIM Buzz

There is a buzz of activity on BIM at the moment; with the recent launch of the government's BIM strategy influencing presentations at the BuildingSMART meeting this week; and a host of other activities.

Government Strategy - Construction and BIM

The UK government has recently published its Construction Strategy, and even more recently its BIM workplan, which is published through the Built Environment KTN (https://ktn.innovateuk.org/). Hence this promises to be an interesting summer. I am involved in the ICE BIM event, which will be on the 18th October, see http://www.ice-bim.com/  We also have a whole host of ongoing research projects within the Design Innovation Research Centre at the University of Reading, with international visitors such as Assist Prof Ashwin Mahalingam (IIT Madras, India) and Prof Chimay Anumba (Penn State, USA) coming to visit us over the next few months.
