In this episode of Digital Builder, host Eric Thomas sits down with Autodesk's Chief Marketing Officer Dara Treseder to unpack the latest insights from the annual State of Design & Make Report. Recorded live at Autodesk University in Nashville, the conversation explores what the data says about digital maturity across the Design and Make industries—and how construction teams can turn those findings into action.
From the industry’s ambition to go fully cloud-based to practical strategies for closing the skills gap, Dara shares how leaders are building resilient, efficient organizations that deliver faster, on budget, and with stronger stakeholder trust.
