As AEC professionals, we are often focused on answering the “how” and “what” of things. How do you best execute a certain process? How do you acquire more savings opportunities? What are the best materials to use for the project? These are all great questions we can ask ourselves, but in most cases, we find ourselves overlooking the “why”.
The “why” is the whole purpose of a project. This answers questions like: How will your project benefit a cause? Will it satisfy the desired business outcome that your client is aiming for? In other words, it is the backbone of the project and the guidepost to how a project will be executed.
And yet, we always tend to forget the answer to our “why”. That’s because half the time, we are too busy trying to solve the problems that are right in front of us – problems like time wasted on rework and repetitive tasks.
How can I focus on my real goals?
In theory, it’s simple enough: Get rid of all your time-consuming and repetitive tasks.
