AEC Magazine: The Future of AEC: an Executive Perspective
Harness: I think the AEC industry is going to recognise that it can’t have 15,000 point solutions, most of which don’t talk to each other, solving really small problems. There needs to be an API approach, like in other industries – otherwise, you’re just creating barriers to adoption. So, ten years from now, I think people will look back and say, “What was that all about?”
I’m a millennial, so I’m a digital native. But the generation after me, Gen Z, are internet natives. So, their concept of work is going to be very different than even my concept of what work is. And their ability to wield technology is going to be far beyond anything that we can imagine right now. They’re just going to bring a completely new perspective to the industry, and I’m really excited about it.
