Session 1.2
Making Data Dance: An Exploration of Visualizing, Understanding, and Applying Information
Synopsis:
Leveraging data is fundamental to smart business. This session will explore how a design studio of over 240, captures, visualizes, and makes data dance to drive innovation, inform decision-making, and meet the demands of an evolving industry.
Learning Objectives:
1. Discover the benefit of PowerBI for data management and visualization
2. Gain insight on what data collection points are and how to identify them.
3. Understand how to conceptualize a functional Digital Twin.
4. Learn from case studies, the practical application of data after it’s been collected and how it informs decision making.
Body:
Beyond our work, technology, and teams, our practices provide a wealth of data that should be strategically applied to operational and project strategy. Awareness of the sources and amount of information that can be collected is the first step, but how do you leverage that data to inform business and workflow decision making in all aspects of the business?
Learn how an established, technology focused, Architecture and Design studio is making its data dance by demonstrating the value of leveraging visualization software like PowerBI to empower quick, effective, and smart business decisions. The rapidly changing AEC industry, coupled with the radical transformation in how we work, has brought the need to instantly respond to rapidly changing conditions to the forefront. Understand how to unleash the power of existing data and collection points, then dissect and visualize it in a clear, concise way to facilitate both studio-wide and project-level policy, decisions, and improvements. By the end, attendees will be able to identify how one studio is building the foundations for advancement towards digital twinning.
With open, consistent, and accessible data, you can achieve and excel in this space. Learn how the synergies of connectivity that exist within your digital framework can be wired to harness and collect information that informs. Session speakers will explain the steps, the lessons-learned, and possibilities that exist by sharing a case-study of their own studio of over 240, and how they analyze and apply smart data. Move beyond collection and observation and leave this session with an appreciation for the power of PowerBI to inform and complement the AEC industry’s push to normalize the Digital Twin.
