There is a lot of technology involved and many technical challenges.  But ultimately the biggest challenges are about talent:

  • Working collaboratively across functional areas and companies
  • Learning new things - constantly
  • Dealing with setbacks - constantly

  • Designing for fabrication and installation with automation where possible 
  • Greater transparency across everyone on the whole project delivery team
