The Digital Skills Gap – Getting People on Board with Digital Transformation
In a world dominated by AI discussions and rapid technological advancements, the real challenge in construction isn’t just adopting new tools—it’s ensuring people have the skills and confidence to use them effectively. The digital skills gap is often misunderstood, seen as a technical issue rather than a people-focused challenge. This session explores how to bridge that gap, ensuring digital transformation is practical, inclusive, and embraced at every level of the industry.
This CPD will cover:
People-first approach
This session moves beyond the tech itself, focusing on engagement, skills development, and cultural change.
Real-world strategies
Actionable insights drawn from successful digital adoption in construction.
Balancing vision with reality
How to think big about the future while ensuring frontline workers aren’t left behind.
For those leading digital change, training teams, or looking to improve adoption, this session provides the practical tools and fresh perspectives needed to make digital transformation work for everyone.
There will also be live VR demo's on the day for you to take part in which will be delivered by Immersice Industry Experiences.
