The adoption of digital tools and processes has helped us work faster, smarter and better, and our clients are benefiting from improvements in quality, cost and schedule. We\u2019re continually innovating and developing our own tools and processes such as the Reality Capture<\/a> tool which visually captures on-site construction progress in minutes, and provides open access to all stakeholders to share information easily and efficiently.<\/p>\n I should also highlight a couple of other brilliant solutions such as the Playbook<\/a> information management platform we\u2019ve developed for LinkedIn and others, and the virtual public consultation tool<\/a> developed by VR Lead Andy Thomas that is now being used by a number of councils in the UK, Public Health England and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. We have talented, insightful people who are bringing digital and innovation to the forefront of how we deliver spot-on solutions for our clients\u2019 challenges.<\/p>\n Next steps<\/strong><\/p>\n A full transition to making digital \u201cbusiness as usual\u201d is the next step, and to do this we need to focus on skills. We want everyone at ArchTam to be able to design for and in the future. The 2D to 3D upskilling program we\u2019re launching this year for more than1,000 people across EMEA is ambitious, but essential, and I\u2019m excited to see where it will take us.<\/p>\n Upskilling more of our people is key to our success and we are embedding a strong digital and innovation culture through internal competitions such as our Mindblazer and Global Challenge programs. Ian Small, our EMEA Innovation Champion, has been sourcing fantastic solutions through these programs, which encourage innovation and ideas from any employee in any part of the company. Our EMEA Digital Project Delivery team has then been driving this innovation into projects, in partnership with our teams and clients. We\u2019re seeing great outcomes as a result, such as the UK\u2019s first Digital ES for the A303 project for Highways England<\/a>.<\/p>\n The post-coronavirus recovery<\/strong><\/p>\n Digital adoption is really a means to transforming outcomes for communities, and our off-site volumetric solution, INNO<\/a>, that has been developed with Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, is helping to accelerate the delivery of much needed homes. Working virtually in BIM360, producing Design for Manufacture and Assemblydetailing, we\u2019re able to deliver higher quality, low-carbon homes, in half the time. I\u2019m hoping that success will breed further success and increase digital adoption in our industry.<\/p>\n Once clients start experiencing the benefits \u2014 the savings, collaboration, efficiencies, better environmental, social and governance (ESG) outcomes, and more effective operation and maintenance \u2014 we\u2019ll start to tip the scales toward digital and innovation as commonplace in the construction industry.<\/p>\n We\u2019re also supporting our clients in their digital transformation journeys as well as our own \u2014 delivering a more resilient way of working in the post-coronavirus recovery. The recent crisis has accelerated the transition and we need to build on that momentum. We are proud of the market-leading work we are delivering with the development and use of digital libraries<\/a> and common data environments<\/a>, both of which were invaluable to keep design and collaboration going in a virtual environment. As we come out of this crisis we can\u2019t go back to business as usual \u2014 we want to accelerate the industry\u2019s digital transformation and support communities in their recovery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At ArchTam, we recognize that it\u2019s essential to embrace new technologies to solve increasingly complex challenges for our clients.
