In construction, what gives a particular tech or process the ability to “stick around”? Should we lean into change, stick to tradition, or reconcile the two? Join Todd and guest Scott Cannon as they discuss some key reasons for the industry's reliance on older methodologies, how logistics are impacted by new technologies, keeping up with KPIs as construction evolves, and tackling the labor shortage by fostering an innovative environment. Scott Cannon is the CEO of BigRentz, a leading online equipment rental marketplace that revolutionizes how construction companies access heavy machinery. With over 2 decades of experience in executive leadership roles, Scott is known for his strategic vision and commitment to driving innovation in the construction industry. Under his leadership, BigRentz has become a pioneer in leveraging technology to streamline logistics and improve efficiency in construction operations. Scott's deep understanding of industry challenges and his passion for digital transformation make him a voice in shaping the future of construction. TODD TAKES Education as a Catalyst for Overcoming Change Resistance: Change often meets resistance because people lack a clear understanding of its purpose and benefits. Educating your team about the 'why' behind the change is crucial for easing this resistance. Utilize concrete data to paint a vivid picture of potential success, helping to reinforce the value and need for the change. AI: A Tool, Not a Disruptor, in Construction: Scott's perspective that AI is "more tool than disruptor" in construction is spot on. AI is often perceived as intimidating, but its true potential lies in enhancing efficiency within the industry. By embracing AI, construction professionals can unlock new levels of productivity without the fear of disruption. Building Trust Through Data in Digital Transformation: Trust is the foundation of a successful digital transformation. To establish this trust, start by using clear data and key performance indicators (KPIs) to demonstrate small, achievable successes. Once trust is built and success is proven on a smaller scale, you can confidently expand your digital initiatives. Thanks for listening!
