It may be summer, but there is plenty of activity in the Design Innovation Research Centre. We are in the field conducting research on a number of projects, to answer some questions around the use of integrated sofware solutions in large building and infrastructure projects.
How is data developed and managed through the design process? How does is it handed over and how does it add value to clients? These are questions that we are investigating this summer in work with the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) Information Systems Panel. The findings will be discussed at an event in their London Headquarters in December. To register an interest email designinnovation@reading.ac.uk
I am off to Montreal to the Academy of Management, where I will be discussing the findings of some of our research in this area, comparing and contrasting practices on three large infrastructure projects.
