A bit of kind of where my interest
of light over the past decade or

so in terms of.

Investigating and looking at
people using models and practice.

So I've spent my early part of my career
developing installs selling them and

soon realized that the issue
wasn't the technology although

many people wanted
the point of technology and

my fellow co-authors of kind of talked
about the various issues there.

But I was really in practice with how
are these models actually getting

integrated into practice and not just
in the practice at the desktop but

I was really interested in how was
it in use in collaboration and

project meetings where I think a lot of
people come together and a lot of as a as

I feel had some at my side of everyone
busy working towards that meeting but

it seems as though all of these things
that we apply in terms of productivity to

the you know little to use the models goes
out the door when we get face to face or

in a meeting and we're not applying
the same for the Poles and

we meet in many cases the best player
on the sideline which is the model.

And the effective way for
us to interact with on another.

And I realized if I put all
these bit of the air that

I could have done a test here to ask
you to organize chronologically.

In terms of what debt you know we
have taken place over ten years but

any of these photos could have been
taken yesterday or ten years ago.

And so

some of what I'm going to say it seemed
obvious because you're living it daily.

But when it was interesting and

a lot had not changed over the course
of a decade when I started.

Kind of taking these observations
of the teams and practice.

So I'm not going to focus them on kind
of what the motivation to use them.

To me that's a moot point.

That is there is a motivation if you're
really interested you can look at

the book look at the many studies.

People with the argument is there in
terms of cost quality time to market.

And we.

Provide a multitude of examples
of they have in terms of what is

the potential of them.

But I'm going to talk more about how
is it actually used as as we interact

with one another and I'm interested
in multidisciplinary interaction I

had a local a disciplinary background and
I was moved a little they didn't do that

because I saw that we weren't talking
in education and weren't talking and

practice and that there's got to be
a better way in terms of collaboration and

how it really impacts how we interact and
overall performance and so I'm

going to talk a little bit of I'm going to
show examples to show the difference is

that I've observed in news as well as
the failure to use the failures that occur

when we don't use information and models
in the right way and what how that leads

to differences and performance and I think
just as important as not performance but

the satisfaction kind of what I call
the SO SHE Emotional aspects of what we do

because we're just as much team
interaction is not just about how we

perform but how we react one another and
that's just as critical to how.

Seem to succeed.

So my goal is really for

those of you who are not currently using
this in practice and even for those of you

who are is to have at least an awareness
of the choices that you're making in

terms of how you're using the information
that you have available to you.

Be it paper it models and
how you are bringing that into

your interactions with other
people on your team and

I'm going to show you how it plays
a role in effect of unification.

In many ways I'm pulling from the leading
theories in terms of how it leads to

better and resolution low better
interaction and a month in memory and more

importantly and a positive reaction is one
of our No one likes I think everyone's

probably been one of those meetings
where conflict arises from one form

of a meeting at least I've even in video
recorded when this happened so people.

So obviously it will be
about uprighted half and.

And then you want to and

those are not things that we
want to have happen on projects.

So I want to point out that
a meme can be from her.

It's how you choose to use that and
that it's not it's not just all

you know everyone's it's not everything
is all positive that I've seen situations

where it's not used properly that
it can be a divider in the team.

And so and ultimately practitioners and

the owners and make can define that role
and how it plays a part in your game.

So I'm just going to use a couple
examples I love examples.

I think that grounds what
we're talking about and

how it's but here's a good example of what
I would call traditional practice and

we have in the lockers of referred to
it that what is implication of this.

So this was an example of a coordination
meeting of eight people and

maybe coordination everyone sitting around
but when I asked the question about

a dimension of a pike and
its height from the ceiling.

Well that resulted in a fifteen
minute the way people one

out there drawings they each have
different versions of the drawings of and

God and
they're you know there's you often find

people shocked in the meetings where
the people produce the information.

So they're kind of at a loss.

Well you know.

Whatever just gave me this drawing
I got to figure it out and

they are they will not kind
of resolve this problem.

It was just traction and

they had many periods of unfocused and
what I would call in action on that

is that they weren't able to make
that commitment though that way.

It's like well yeah and the other day and
we're going to figure it out and

it you have this cycle of slowly likely
there are issues that are not revolved.

And it seemed as though my information
wasn't helping them at all.

They were working to use that and
they left them satisfied or

I would call in an active and as an owner
the fact that I've paid for eight hours.

You know eight people to spend an hour and
a half in a meeting and

nothing got resolved.

I'm not sure this is a good demonstration
a practice and it's a curse.

Today you.

There's a case for same type of meeting.

I mean because a nation a team
had a model they had it in a room

on a project where they were focused and
forward to meeting and

they were able to call for
multiple issues and it was a coordinator.

So it's an alternative to the one
before that at the show later and

there were some issues that arose in this
meeting they still had paper press and

they had models the teams were
coming together to use this and

the other thing I want to point out
is that the space that you create

that you interact with these
models is just as important as and

this case they had a very small room
they had white boards in front of them

kind of a tight space but
they had to focus on the information.

It was another good example of
the trailer on the jobs I for they just

put a big screen and they interacted with
the model they got engaged in this level

of engagement of important from what I've
seen in terms of getting people out of

their chairs and coaches interacting with
the model and not just kind of suddenly

I'd really like you're at a movie people
get engaged and and you start the action.

So might my favorite thing to
show to people is the Gantt chart

that is on almost every project off
of the wall paper that sits there and

I often wonder why did
we put it up there is.

They just look at my gosh
this is we're just so

great we have all these things
we're going to get on and.

It meant a little task for them.

There's a little sense of progress but
as a tool to interact.

It serves no purpose but
it sits there in the back of the mind and

outdated it's usually two or
three months behind and

it doesn't reflect at all that's going
on and so there are alternatives and

certainly can have it up there a bit bring
it on I've seen it in these meetings where

they're referring to something on
the schedule the kind of quarter inch and

everyone else of their they have no clue
or think it will bring in thirty page

schedules and
everyone's flipping through and so what.

How is that providing
any help to everyone.

The involved everyone's on a different
page they haven't a clue where out of the.

If you go to the museum this kind of
information is a bystander and something

that if a part help you participate or
become a participant in the process.

So you know what.

Other example I have here on the top which
is a creative environment now this is high

end it's an years ago that we did this
where we got people in Iran we did forty

models and the motto that time
said you know problems found

together are all together and so this is
an environment we were highly engaged.

We were all on the same page and it became
a space where we could interact and

actually identify problems and albums.

So I walked through just for examples.

I've done a lot of these examples of just
speaking not getting in on meetings and

then over the course of the last few
years I've actually recorded them and

analyzed them in terms of what really
is going on are people focused.

How much time as that actually
solving issues versus not solving

where they satisfied how many positive
statements versus negative statements for

engineers or like numbers.

So there were some firms that sponsored
work that I did they really wanted some

not the anecdotal kind of benefit of
it but they want to know was this

really a better way to work and
so they opened up their projects.

Model based projects and their paper based
projects and I think there's just as

much to learn from all of those
processes and so this was an M.E.P.

quarter nation meeting that was colocated
And I think that's a big issue.

If you talk to others it is the team

the meeting would say it's actually
their workspace they were co-located.

And they also had help with the use of
information as well as private use and

probably the most critical was
they assigned somebody the job

as model facilitator.

So someone who knew all the end of
an album of using the software.

It's no good to bring the model
into the room if there's not

some American knows how to view navigate
through it change about and and so

that that's been a critical one.

Little bit east and so identified.

And so as a result this particular
meeting was probably the most focused.

Successful meeting that I've observed in
terms of the issues they have resolved in

fact the next morning they went abrogation
so they could sign up on the floor.

It went their eight issues they use
the model disability if I'm recession or

positive.

Participation from almost everyone in
the meeting and it was over all of

a I would view it as a success in the way
that you would want to spend money and

have it work.

Same type of set up which I showed before
I mean you're CORNISH And the difference

here was that only a few people in
the meeting participated in the model.

There was a team member who
brought in his drawings and

that was the only frame of reference.

He had on the project and kind of refused
to acknowledge that the model was there

and so when a question would come up.

They'd all have to focus away and look
at the drawings and they couldn't agree.

And so
this is what I'm saying at the divider and

it's only a good as you know if you're
going to and pull everyone together so

there's lots of these examples
where it can be divisive.

If you're not putting everyone in the So

here's a face to face meeting that I
think very traditional O.E.C.D. type

of meeting everyone had their little an
agenda went through the room and what was

there if she had to how they're going to
be it was one of the most painful meeting.

I've ever observed not a single
thing was all the guy would say I

wish I had a piece of paper
to draw this on and and so

the attention wasn't on what they were
trying to do with this little piece

of paper the mob that it just the way
it will cost them to work in that

way that they haven't even thought about
maybe there's a different way to do it.

But I also want to say that it's
not necessarily paper or model but

sometimes the way in which you understand
how you can better work together.

So I've also observed meetings
where designers around were.

Spaces that are sketching an early
conceptual design that was very effective.

It was suited to the task.

Everyone bought into the process and
everyone could participate and so

it was meaningful for that stage of the so
I don't want to say that

models are the panacea but in most
cases particular later in the project

you're developing it does improve
the potential of what its role can

be so the question that I ask because
you know what are the differences in

terms of what is it that you can learn in
terms of looking at it and your practice.

And so I want you to be aware that
models are going to play a role not

just in communication which I think of the
fundamental purpose but in how you act and

generate and I value weight and
make decisions and make commitments and

make resolution and that it does help
in terms of addressing issues and so

I've actually done these studies and found
out what the factors are that correlate to

better situation and it seems obvious that
the most important thing is providing

access to the information I've had
dreams where they have the model and

it's on the little screen a in a room and
the people in the back of the room.

Yet we really are out by meeting people.

I can't see what that's half and or
they still didn't put their Autocad

window up there and
they couldn't read the little fine print.

So you have to be conscientious of who and
the context in which the amused or

are they still sit all around the room and

the model kind of like I am the model was
and so it left people out of the process.

So a biblical basis for our challenge
because most of our rooms are designed for

us to sit around the table and talk to
each other not to interact with the model.

I mean you have blooms where they had.

Drawings of one in the table in the in the
other and they couldn't you know sort of

bowing to stuff your in
the team can't be down there.

It's the same thing.

So I.

So in terms of use really analyze this and
you can look at their

different profiles and the relationship
between how people use it after it and

a correlate with the overall performance
I'm not going to get into the details but

you must just say there is a relationship
and between how do you go to your and

your models how you
incorporate in your practice

that across all of these observations and
I mean a correlation the cognitive.

Performance and satisfaction.

That is when teams make the right choices
in terms of providing access using

models providing an environment which they
interact not just that it actually mark up

change either her facilitator or
one on one that and

eventually gets involved as part of
their process of action and action.

Things I want to stress are that think
about you know why bring in individual

private copies of information in this
displaying it on the front of us grain

would help people get on the same page and
understand what they're going through

access to information the models are the
same they have the same role the level of

interaction with them that can be used as
a part of your communicative practice and

ultimately lead to lead to better
decisions and commitment which means.

So what can you do a positive
factors that are outside of kind

of a Michaud use I mentioned co-production
of the model that is that is a very.

In all these cases almost
every project that I've seen

it often is the people that
were involved in the process.

You know those are where results
are complex are the bite of the Kurds and

so the more people you can engage
in the process the better.

It's going to be access
which I spoke about and

then creating spaces where you can focus
on the information and not on each other.

Because it's because it's about.

And that's what you tend to find is
when we're speaking at each other as

opposed to focusing on
the shared athlete here and

it's one sometimes I believe problems
right and designating of the silicate or

because there are going to be
different skill levels and and

without someone who's adept that
understanding of technology that makes it

so that meant for conclusion of my talk
but what I wanted to bring your awareness.

It was that you can make just
tackling issues of building a model

is only one factor of how it got
then integrated into your overall.

Thank you.

Thousand.
