How do we bridge that gap?5:41  So you mentioned a standard. At what point do you think we will get to leveraging BIM and design data to effectively build the digital twin during the process as the building is being built? Do you see trends toward that and where does that demand come from?12:03  Let's talk a little bit about looking at the retrofitting of buildings, using photogrammetry or lidar scans to create an as-built, and how some of the tool kits of Unity. It's like we're at this dream state in the industry of what we're able to do. And now it's a matter of getting this technology in the hands of people, so they don't have fear because that's what's holding us back.20:01  From a workflow perspective and practical perspective, how are you seeing companies change the mindset with their workforce because all of the technology in the world is meaningless if the workforce doesn't embrace it?36:07  If you could project yourself 20 years into the future, and if you could have any product or service or gadget or thing, that for you, would make your life better or make you personally happy, what would it be and what would it do?

This is the third week in our Irresistible message series and Dave Rhodes from 3DM is teaching on Irresistible Character

In this Exponential 2013 podcast, Dave Rhodes and Mike Breen discusses how every movement of discipleship and mission in the last 2000 years has actually had a number of things in common. In this workshop, we'll look at the necessary components for starting a discipling movement, focusing particularly on a common language, reproducible vehicles and the rate determining step for every movement: Reproducing leaders.

In this Exponential 2012 podcast, Dave Rhodes with 3DM speak on launching missional communities with teenagers. One of the largest and most fruitful mission field for Missional Communities is teenagers. But how does it work? Who leads them? How do they multiply? What do youth workers do? How are people discipled? This will be a nuts-and-bolts session on "the how" for Missional Communities and teenagers.
