Lead Construction Into Digital Era

New technologies—advanced analytics, automation, machine learning, and the Internet of Things, for example—have delivered substantial benefits to industries at the forefront of adoption, particularly telecommunications and finance. And while these disruptive forces will eventually wash over every industry, the construction industry still lags.

To create greater value from public and private spending on large capital projects, governments can help clear the path and bring new technologies to bear.

Using technologies to boost construction productivity can have a profound impact on public and private spending.
