"The Data Advantage in Construction" by @Autodesk estimates that the cost of 'bad data' in 2020 may have cost the industry $1.84 trillion. I was very interested in how they arrived at this figure... Notice anything? 1/7 SOURCE: a.storyblok.com/f/64835/x/137c… The Autodesk study uses a IBM study that cites US bad data costs $3.1 trillion in 2016. The authors then calculated this as 16.5% of the US GDP in 2016. They then applied 16.5% across the ENTIRE 2020 global economy. 2/7 IBM HBR SUMMARY: hbr.org/2016/09/bad-da…

Few things trigger me more than seeing one of my works inaccurately invoked in relation to the tech workflow I was intimately involved in. @archpaper highlights the Hangzhou stadium in relation to #Revit being a "popular choice for parametric design." 1/12 archpaper.com/2020/07/autode… For some #AEC tech news context, a group of architecture firms recently put @autodesk on blast for a lack of #Revit development while the cost of the software continues to rise with new licensing models. Here is coverage by @AECmagazine 2/12 aecmag.com/comment-mainme…

Is #ROI a fallacy of AEC tech? For example - Can someone point me to a well-researched study with documented data collection and calculation methods and data excerpts that shows return on investment related to #BIM tech adoption in #AEC as an industry? The top search result on Google is an @autodesk white paper where #ROI of #BIM is framed through a "customer perception study" - so it's valuable if customers think they're getting value? Not a single dollar figure is cited in this paper. Laughable. damassets.autodesk.net/content/dam/au…
