When organizations evaluate their BIM and CAD management gaps, four common themes often emerge:
1. Lack of visibility into the big picture. Given their day-to-day responsibilities, it can be difficult for BIM and CAD managers to level up and evaluate the current state of workflows, technologies, and employee practices. As a result, there may be organizational blind spots.
2. Too much work to handle. Many BIM and CAD managers are assigned both strategic responsibilities and revenue generating project work. This often makes it difficult to stay ahead of never-ending to-do lists related to people, process, and technology.
3. Limited learning and development. In design and engineering, standing still means falling behind. In organizations with a culture that prioritizes learning, teams remain sharp, adaptable, and ahead of the curve. Professional development supports accelerated innovation, faster skill development, greater adaptability, higher quality output, and stronger employee retention. According to a LinkedIn Workplace Learning Report, 94% of employees say they’d stay longer at a company that invests in their learning.
4. Undocumented standards and guidelines. Everyone loves the standards they use, but those may not be the standards that should be used. Unfortunately, many BIM and CAD managers don’t have the time or resources to identify and document the standards and guidelines that would promote maximum efficiency in their organizations, let alone ensure that users conform to them.
