Developing Digital Leadership Skills in Construction SMEs

A free programme funded by the CITB for construction companies across the UK.

How do you evaluate the benefits of digital solutions in construction SMEs?

Developing a process to evaluate digital solutions

Making a business case for change can be challenging as the benefits of a digital solution can be intangible. During this meeting participants will discuss how to evaluate a potential digital solution and assess the main benefits and the impact its introduction will have on business performance. There will be guidance from business and digital experts.

As the sessions rely on the interaction between delegates, all participants need to use a webcam and microphone.

Digital Boardrooms

Digital Boardrooms bring together owners and managers of construction SMEs. They are designed to give leaders the skills to introduce digital solutions into their organisation and hence improve business performance. Sessions will explore ways to streamline, improve or remove processes and tasks that are repetitive, error-prone or time-consuming, with support and guidance from experts in digital solutions.

Each meeting includes:

1. A facilitated group activity exploring opportunities to improve business performance
2. Discussion of one specific aspect of digital adoption, such as evaluating potential solutions, culture change or implementation
3. Signposting to information about the technical considerations of digital adoption
4. Next steps

Delegates can join the programme at any time, but we hope they will attend all or most Digital Boardrooms to create a trusted peer support group.

Events may be sponsored by a supplier to meet the matched funding required by the CITB, but this is not a recommendation of specific products.

Joining instructions will be sent 24 hours before the start of the event. If you do not receive them, please email info@gctraining.group
