Hybrid workplaces, the lingering pandemic, and the war in Europe are major narratives shaping the global economy, and the AEC industry is fielding the fallout on several fronts. Workplaces and workflows are changing, materials and resources are in short supply, and a general slowdown has increased competition for larger projects. What has remained consistent is that the repercussions have accelerated the trajectory toward digital collaboration with teams, partners, and clients. While remote work greatly influenced the move towards collaborative work in dispersed locations during the pandemic, supply chain complications and high energy costs have encouraged teams to continue embracing technological solutions to fill the gaps.
Looking ahead, Graphisoft CEO Huw Roberts orients resurging industry themes, highlighting trends in digital collaboration, environmental sustainability, globalizing talent, and evolving technologies as they adapt to a resource-scarce landscape. As teams adapt to external factors, seamless virtual collaboration and smart workflows have helped shore up limited resources while bringing innovative solutions and new opportunities to the table.
