Digitize…or get left behind. You’ve probably heard the business adage: Innovate or die. Innovation
is always good, and it certainly sets you apart from competitors. But in the construction and trades
industry today, it may be a matter of doing things better, faster and smarter. That can include
innovation, but increasingly it’s about digitization. That’s because the construction industry is up
against some strong workforce headwinds that have been years in the making. In the last two decades,
fewer young people entered the profession while skilled workers have retired. With various economic
downturns, some people left the industry for other types of work. The available workforce for
construction has shrunk and there’s limited talent to go around.
