What to Expect
• 3 Types of Business Innovation
•Workflow Analysis
•Reduce risk when exploring innovation •Development Paths
•Implementing a new tool
•Lessons learned from Development •Several stories and the sprinkling of tidbits
•Some of Southland’s specific tools and metrics
Storytime!
•Tool: specific data from BIM 360 module to deliverable
•Workflow Analysis: Manual data duplication •Development: Autodesk Consulting •Implementation: office by office
•Training: project by project
•Metric for Success: Everyone that uses it requests it on every new project that uses that specific BIM 360 module

Schedule Creep
TASK EFFICIENCY
•Eliminating manual steps
o Focus on improving overall productivity
o Once a day vs 10 times a day •With enough efficiency, you get measurable productivity
SCHEDULE CREEP
•Will always happen •Tools create task efficiency
•Schedule Creep sets up Workflow Analysis to find solutions for future tools
INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY
•How do you leverage the time saved?•Employee’s life is better, but is that translating to the business?•Measuring metrics is important
Schedule Creep
Are there really 3 types of business innovation?
3 Types of Business Innovation
Process Speed Up (picks & clicks)
•
High Value to the User, some to business
•
No direct benefit to client
PROCESS AUTOMATION
PROCESS INNOVATION
PROCESS REENGINEERING
Change in process
•
Value to business; some directly to bottom line
•
Moderate learning curve
Process replacement
•
High Value to the Business,
some to Client
•
Highest learning curve with a long lead time
on implementation
How do we figure out if a custom tool is right for us?
Workflow Analysis –Establish Existing Workflow
BIM Coordination Detailed Workflow
•BIM Coordination Process
•Time –Modification of model during process –may be
several revisions during process
•Tool –Hanger tool Suite –speed up this workflow
Workflow Analysis
DELIVERABLE BASED WASTED DATA AND EFFORT TIME CONSUMING HUMAN ERROR
Workflow Analysis
CAN WE DO IT?
Is the Technology ready? Is the Business ready? Is the Budget ready?WILL WE USE IT?
Can we get cultural buy-in?
Is the tool user friendly?
WILL IT BRING VALUE?
Does it improve the end
product?
Does it save time?
Did it accomplish its goal?
•The way you look at problems •Theory of Constraints
•Internal Operational Excellence Team •Project Management Office
Some Southland Principles
Learn LEAN
Research Time!
WHAT DOES THE BUSINESS NEED VS WANT?
•Ultimate list of Need vs Nice to Have
•Compare to what is on the market
•Verify the needs list •Don’t get attached WHAT ALREADY EXISTS?
•Is there an existing
workaround?
•What is available on the
market?
•Reach out to companies that
might have something close
WHAT ARE YOUR
COMPETITORS DOING?
•What examples are on their
websites?
•What have they presented on?
•Scour blogs for what others
are doing
•Stay competitive or get ahead
Risk Reduction
Governance Process
•Have a business sponsor to get the right people in the room •Managers alone are not enough
•Management can set the goal
•End Users will set how to achieve the goal •Right People at each phase
•Infrastructure and Security IT Teams are vital •Analysis phase is extended; better results •Better done right than done fast
Project Management Process
Developing the Tool
Development Paths
You’ve chosen to get a custom tool –consider your options
In House Development
Outsourced Development
Autodesk Development
Existing 3rd Party Software
Let’s take a stroll down each path
In House Development
•100% Custom
•Familiar with the business
•Support and financial impact are internal
•Bugs, Enhancements, Features are not ‘out-of-scope’
•Single Point of Failure
•Knowledge Loss
•Consideration:
o One developer or a Team?
Image by IBV Solutions
Outsourced Development
•Large network
•Custom,but with their code
o Contract language will allow you to own tool
and/or code
•Lot of Legal and IP work
o Every part missed is scope creep and costs
•Clients get packaged‘bonus tools’
•Must be managed impeccably
•Finding your items/tools used by another company Waterfall Development
Image by Lucidchart
Autodesk Development
•Available thru Autodesk Enterprise Solutions •Embedded Consultant: Gap Analysis, Prototyping & Training
•Realize strategic goals / familiar with the business •Accelerate Adoption
•Extensive partner network –300+ consultants •Insight to future technology trends
•Financial Impact based on Agreement (EBA, etc)•Non EBA –Services Marketplace –Service Provider Partners
Modification of Existing Tool
•Relationship Building –enhancements to be influenced
•Developed Tool
o ready to go, but may not be perfect
•Cost model
o by tool or by market segment
o user –project –enterprise
•Other companies use it
o good for development/testing
o bad for features no one else wants

Additional Considerations
GOALS AND METRICS •What do you track already?•Can you do a side by side?•What metrics will sell the tool/process?
IMPLEMENTATION •Testing Environments •Testing Groups
•Buy-in
•Launch Day
LEARNING CURVE
•Mitigation Plan
•Training
•Excitement
DYNAMO
•Versioning

Storytime!The AutoCAD to Revit switch
•Rock star Detailer… in AutoCAD
•No one wants to come into a job they love and not be good at it
•Human Side of BIM STEP 1:
Make Revit look and function like AutoCAD
STEP 2:
Slow integration and replacements
NOTE:
Accept that some users may never completely switch
The tool is out there, so we’re done right?
NEW FEATURES
ENHANCEMENTS
SUPPORT
Ongoing Tool Management
FUTURE TRAINING
NEW HIRES AND RETRAINING
Company growth, turn over, transitioning to Revit, etc BUGS EXIST
People use software in
unexpected and unintended
ways with various computer
setups and settings
ALWAYS REFINING
Revit 2018 takes 20-25 seconds
to generate views in a model
with 10,000+ MEP parts
2019.1 takes 7-8 seconds
2020 will be 6 seconds
WOULDN’T IT BE NICE IF….
Users will always want software
to work a certain way, to go a
step further, to be able to do
something it currently can’t
Custom Tool Cycle
One Approach to Metrics!
Some Metrics for System Models
VELOCITY
How fast is top speed
Long term average speed
PROJECT DURATION
Total Time of Detailing/Drawing (TD) Total Linear (TL) Foot Produced COST
Total Linear (TL) Foot Produced Total Cost (TC) of Project
WHY LINEAR FEET
Most Accurate –for some
SF is doable, but not preferable Hours Per Sheet simply doesn’t work TL
TC
=CLF
TD TL =LΤ

Sheet Setup
What was the worst time killer on any job? What was Support always tied up on? Sheets!

Detailers with decades of

Tools for Thought
Service Colors
Before After •Filters are data and performance heavy
•This tool reduces filters in our template but
still gives us the visuals we need for
deliverables and QA/QC
Smart Purge
•Purges items Revit says “no” to •Can purge down to 200kb!•Means Corporate Templates that cover all trades can easily
be reduced for file size, model
management, and have less
items for users to scroll through
Class Survey
Tell us and Autodesk how we did Was it valuable?
Did we present well?
Bonus points: What were our fun facts? Don’t worry, the points don’t matter
Be honest –you’re paying for our knowledge!
