This was a good day. Late this PM I arranged a conference call with two
like-industry IT experts for tomorrow. During my 27-year gig I successfully created a group of IT managers from competing commercial construction firms who agreed to share IT experience and perspectives. During the formation of this group we created an informal charter in which we agreed that IT advances did not provide a competitive advantage for construction firms given the very short time it was an advantage. All it did was destroy the IT workers and there was no logic in that.
We shared perspectives and experiences with products and vendors without bias. There were a couple of local companies that did not participate and as a collaborative group we chuckled at the others who cut their teeth learning what we had already shared.
Our discussion tomorrow will center on how we could leverage that experience into a national platform.
This could lead to an income supplement that would involve exactly what I like doing.
