It’s never a dull moment at BuildOnline – every few months, they move things around and change some job-titles. Having made a few changes in October 2005, then again in December, today we noticed from BO’s main website that Stuart Lander had lost his crown as the grand-sounding "President, Americas" (before that he was managing …

BE Avanti
Last Friday I attended the spring meeting of members of Constructing Excellence‘s Building and Estates Forum (BE), chaired by the excellent Vaughan Burnand. During the day BE chief executive Don Ward announced that BE was looking to take over the running of the Avanti programme. Avanti’s funding by the DTI has just about run out, …

Google calendar
I sometimes find it difficult to reconcile my work, social and domestic commitments, particularly when my wife (Helen) and I have to juggle responsibility for taking and collecting our two children from school and after-school club (plus, in my daughter’s case, Brownies and Woodcraft Folk too). Microsoft Outlook has been OK as a personal calendar …

“Plotting Workflow in the AEC industry”
Thanks to my latest CADwire Insights Weekly, I was pointed to a recently published white paper from Cyon Research (free to download) on managing reprographics in construction projects, with a particular focus on a solution from Océ (Océ Repro Desk Professional). It raises some interesting issues for construction project teams, particularly those which have been …

Catching up
What only one update in a week? What have I been up to since I got back from the Boston conference? On Tuesday, I met up with an old PR friend – internal communications consultant (and fellow cyclist) Liam Fitzpatrick (Working Communication) – and then with Peter Goodwin of the PIX Protocol – hoping to …

Harvard conference, March 2006 (4)
It’s been a fascinating day here in Boston. The Harvard Graduate School of Design hosted a conference which brought together well over 100 people from all over north America (plus a handful from the UK) to discuss its research and the implications for the US construction industry. Burcin Becerik summarised some of the key findings …

The email argument (2)
Further to my discussion of the email challenge in Monday’s post, I read Silicon.com’s leader, Living with info overload, yesterday with interest. It says: "the issue is not only how to monitor digital communications … but also how to search and archive the millions of emails we send and documents we create each day," before …

Kids today
Peter Cochrane’s blog at Silicon.com often delivers some interesting insights. I liked his latest piece – Kids today – in which he describes how new generations of IT users have little or no understanding of older technologies (he gives an example of a wi-fi-savvy eight-year-old with no experience of connecting to a network). I reckon …
