RUGSA AUGUST 2010 TRAINING (and a bit of implementation to…) STEWART CALDWELL
BEFORE YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT TRAINING: • Have a good looooooooooooooong think • What do want out of BIM • How do you manage the implementation • Choose your champions • Run a pilot • Develop your base systems • Then you can start thinking about training
BEFORE YOU EVEN START TRAINING: • Have a good looooooooooooooong think • About the challenges ahead: • Change Management • Upper management support • Staff resistance • Programming delays
BEFORE YOU EVEN START TRAINING: • Cost • Project downtime • Training is expensive • New technologies • New tools means new workflow • New opportunities

NOW STOP THINKING AND START TRAINING: • Update regularly • Adopt in-house training to educate other staff • Keep it short and keep it regular (weekly) • Make it compulsory initially (for everyone) • Taylor training for different groups (designers and modellers) • Training upper management • They need to be part of your workflow • Identify their needs, they are different to everyone else • Good luck
