Why do so many digital transformation initiatives, BIM implementations, and AI rollouts fail in the AEC and engineering sectors?In this episode of DT Vector, host Eugen Ursu speaks with Ron Rijkers, digital transformation leader, strategist, and author of Digital Transforming. Ron shares real-world lessons from leading digital changes inside complex engineering organizations, explaining why technology is rarely the main obstacle to progress and why the human element makes or breaks adoption. From solving CDE implementation bottlenecks to mapping out a 15-step roadmap across People, Process, and Technology, this conversation breaks down how to drive true digital adoption. They also discuss why AI represents a unique "technology pull," and why the future of construction lies in factory industrialization rather than brick-laying robots.#DigitalTransformation #BIM #AEC #ChangeManagement #PropTech #ConstructionTech #AIinEngineering #DTVector #smartbuildings

Learn how the Digital Thread, Open BIM, and WIM (Workplace Information Management) eliminate real estate data silos and boost commercial portfolio value with industry expert Fred Kloet.In this episode of DT Vector, host Eugen Ursu sits down with Fred Kloet to discuss the convergence of Building Information Modeling (BIM), digital twins, and corporate facility management. Discover how making asset data F.A.I.R. (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) bridges the gap between CapEx construction projects and OpEx building operations. We also dive into why major software vendors like Autodesk are shifting to a "Design, Make, Operate" model, and how AI and Agentic FM will revolutionize smart building automation.

Can artificial intelligence solve the construction industry's massive labor shortage, or are we expecting technology to fix foundational business problems? In this episode of the DT Vector podcast, host Eugen Ursu speaks with Angelica Donati, Managing Director at Donati SpA, venture investor, Forbes contributor, and one of Europe’s leading voices on infrastructure and construction. Angelica breaks down how post-COVID investments are reshaping the sector, why construction is immune to AI job replacement, and why tapping into female talent is essential to survive the upcoming retirement wave. From computer vision in high-risk tunneling to supply chain centralization and the critical rule of "data before AI," this conversation offers a clear roadmap for the future of the built environment.🎙️ DT Vector explores PropTech, ConTech, BIM, Digital Twins, AI, and the technologies transforming the built environment.🌐 Learn more about Graphein:https://graphein.ro/🎧 Discover DT Vector:https://graphein.ro/dt-vector/🔗 Connect with Eugen Ursu: / eugen-ursu Subscribe to DT Vector for conversations about BIM, Digital Twins, PropTech, AI, construction technology, and the future of the built environment.

Are we chasing flashy building tech while ignoring the fundamental realities of the built environment? In this episode of the DT Vector podcast, host Eugen Ursu sits down with Nicolas Waern, Founder & CEO of WINNIIO. Nicolas shares his decade-long perspective on digital twins, smart buildings, edge intelligence, and why the industry must shift from "data-driven" hype to "impact-driven" reality. From the shift away from cloud-first architectures to local edge control, the rise of Gaussian Splats, and why your business needs a "Minimum Viable Twin" (MVT), this episode redefines how we think about smart assets.🎙️ DT Vector explores PropTech, ConTech, BIM, Digital Twins, AI, and the technologies transforming the built environment.🌐 Learn more about Graphein:https://graphein.ro/🎧 Discover DT Vector:https://graphein.ro/dt-vector/🔗 Connect with Eugen Ursu:https://www.linkedin.com/in/eugen-ursu/Subscribe to DT Vector for conversations about BIM, Digital Twins, PropTech, AI, construction technology, and the future of the built environment.
