Navigating Technology in Construction Leadership

When experiencing a period of rapid growth and fast-paced transformation, leaders can get caught up in optimizing processes and finding fast solutions to new problems. This means you may miss opportunities to build deeper connections between your teams and struggle to nurture a strong culture of trust that is ready to adapt to changes on the fly. 

There are already so many important elements of the organization that need to be balanced, so how can leaders effectively navigate these high-growth periods without making their workforce feel like they’ve been left behind? 

We sat down with Tomislav Zigo, Chief Technology Officer and Vice President at Clayco, during AU2023 to talk through these complex processes, how complex companies like Clayco are changing the way they handle tech deployment, and how leaders can properly invest in their teams now to navigate these periods of rapid growth, new technology, and massive workforce culture shifts. 

We discuss: 

• How tech adoption practices have evolved over the last 15 years 
• How Tomislav evaluates new technology for potential adoption 
• How to empower leaders in a fast-scaling model 
• How broad workforce culture shifts are impacting the way organizations scale 
• The need for companies to adopt a strong data strategy to remain competitive
