Strategic Actions for Realising the Vision of ICT in Construction

15.03.2006 - 31.05.2007
Forschungsförderungsprojekt
[Abstract] Background: The construction sector is characterised by delivery of one-of-a-kind product and service delivery through competence sharing between different organisations (some of which may be unknown to others). ICT usage in the sector is limited and lags far behind other manufacturing sectors. The ROADCON project offered a vision for ICT in construction in addition to a set of roadmaps across 12 thematic areas. ROADCON while providing the vision and roadmaps did not however offer any action plans or project ideas whose realisation would lead to achievement of the vision. This task of identifying strategic actions for realising the vision of ICT in construction is the main goal of Strat-CON (Strategic actions realising the vision of ICT in construction). Scientific Objectives: Strat-CON has three main scientific objectives as follows: 1.) Refine and validate ROADCON vision and roadmap for ICT in construction 2.) Identify strategic actions for realising vision of ICT in construction 3.) Validate strategic actions and provide guidelines for implementation Stakeholder Interaction: The stakeholders (industry, ICT vendors, research institutes, etc.) of Strat-CON will serve as the main validation instrument for the vision, roadmap, and strategic actions that are refined and/or developed within Strat-CON. Stakeholder interaction will be mainly through focuses workshops, interviews, questionnaires, etc. Relevant members from the ROADCON support group of 293 organisations from 30 countries will be contacted where possible for sharing their experience and validating the findings of Strat-CON. Workplan: The work in Strat-CON is structured around five workpackages. Of these, three are technical workpackages contributing to the achievement of the scientific objectives of Strat-CON, one workpackage dedicated to stakeholder interaction and dissemination, and one workpackage for project management. Deliverables: There will be five main public deliverables resulting from Strat-CON: vision and roadmap for ICT in construction (D1); strategic actions for ICT in construction (D2); Guidelines for implementation of strategic actions (D3); stakeholder workshops (D41); Strat-CON website (D42). In addition to these five public deliverables, a project progress report (D5) will be issued.
