Construction tech is booming, but adopting it remains a challenge. Why?
David Rockhill from McKinsey shared some eye-opening insights on our latest episode.
He explained how the industry has changed in the last 6-7 years, with tech now tackling on-site issues – the biggest value pool in construction.
He also revealed how AR and VR are transforming construction worker training, making it faster and more effective than ever before.
We discussed:
✅ The updated McKinsey productivity curve (coming soon!)
✅ Why “pilot purgatory” hinders tech adoption
✅ How AR/VR and digital twins are revolutionizing worker training
✅ McKinsey’s AI tool “Lily” that’s transforming knowledge management
