Despite this, the sector is not adopting digital technologies as quickly as was hoped. This delay has been attributed not to any technical challenge, but barriers created by people and the working culture within the sector.<\/p>\n<p>A new partnership between BIM4Water and the \u00a35m Made Smarter Innovation: Centre for People-Led Digitalisation aims to address this challenge by ensuring people are at the heart of business digitalisation initiatives.<\/p>\n<h3>New innovation centres will explore the challenges facing digitalisation of the water sector<\/h3>\n<p>The Made Smarter Innovation: Centre for People-Led Digitalisation is one of five initial centres funded under the Made Smarter Innovation Programme, delivered by UK Research &amp; Innovation (UKRI). The work of the centres covers both technological and societal aspects, focusing on addressing people\u2019s needs within the industry-identified challenges. As part of their research, all Made Smarter Innovation centres are to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction\/smart-cities\/future-cities-and-communities\/106031\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">consider societal and cultural change<\/a> \u2013 managing the disruptive impact of digital technologies. Where the Made Smarter Innovation: Centre for People-Led Digitalisation differs from the other centres is that people and culture are its primary research focus.<\/p>\n<p>The Made Smarter Innovation: Centre for People-Led Digitalisation, led by the University of Bath, is a collaboration between the universities of Loughborough and Nottingham, and non-academic partners including the Environment Agency, National Highways, the Institute for Asset Management and BIM4Water.<\/p>\n<p>BIM4Water is an unfunded, voluntary UK water industry forum that consists of a cross-industry group open to all organisations involved in the management and delivery of water and wastewater assets. Focused on the digital space, it undertakes activities in all aspects of \u201cBetter Information Management\u201d including, but not limited to, open data sharing, data quality, security and governance, 4D construction and beyond, asset data, data classification and hierarchies, and, most importantly, the human element with respect to skills and changes required to successfully drive digitalisation.<\/p>\n<h3>Cross-sector insight aims to develop solutions to obstacles faced by the industry<\/h3>\n<p>The group\u2019s make-up is reflective of the sector, comprising clients, contractors, consultants, suppliers, subcontractors and other bodies, with work organised into a number of streams. Bringing these streams together, the group has identified that successful digitalisation depends on management of the change which addresses human and machine elements hand-in-hand.<\/p>\n<p>The Made Smarter Innovation: Centre for People-Led Digitalisation aims to improve the outcomes of the adoption of digital technologies through prior explicit consideration and planned appropriate action that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction\/bim-news\/digitalisation-in-the-built-environment\/101266\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">prioritises human needs and working patterns<\/a> in the design and implementation of digitalised work systems. Simply put, it asks not what we can do with technology, but what technology can do for us.<\/p>\n<p>Clare Kovacs, chair of BIM4Water, Professor Linda Newnes and Dr Susan Lattanzio, from Made Smarter Innovation: Centre for People-Led Digitalisation, explain the partnership plans and the difference it could make to the water sector.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Linda Newnes, director, Made Smarter Innovation: Centre for People-Led Digitalisation said: \u201cWe are very excited about this collaboration. From the beginning, BIM4Water have been very supportive of the work we are doing with the centre. This partnership allows us to co-create research and generate understanding which will be of benefit to the water sector and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sharing a common vision, the aim of the BIM4Water and the Made Smarter Innovation: Centre for People-Led Digitalisation partnership is to improve adoption and the acceptance of new ways of working by putting people at the forefront of digital technology development and implementation.<\/p>\n<h3>A study on how neurodiversity impacts digitalisation in the water sector is due early next year<\/h3>\n<p>Through this new partnership, BIM4Water will gain research resources to deliver technical reports for publication into the water sector. The first area for research will consider \u201cDoes neurodiversity tailor individuals to digital roles vs traditional engineering?\u201d. Publication of the results of this study should be available early 2023.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/bim4water-vice-chair\/82779\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Clare Kovacs, Chair of BIM4Water<\/a> says, \u201cI am really excited by this Partnership. This alliance will provide us with the resources to develop guidance papers for our members. This initial research will provide valuable understanding of the opportunities to broaden and attract a wider resource pool, by understanding the psychological and social parameters which make digital delivery appealing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>For more details of the work, contact Clare Taylor-Kovacs (<a href=\"mailto:bim@britishwater.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bim@britishwater.co.uk<\/a>) or Dr Susan Lattanzio, Made Smarter Innovation: Centre for People-Led Digitalisation (<a href=\"mailto:pld@bath.ac.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pld@bath.ac.uk<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clare Taylor-Kovacs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chair<\/p>\n<p>BIM4Water<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:bim@britishwater.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bim@britishwater.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishwater.co.uk\/page\/BIM4Water\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.britishwater.co.uk\/page\/BIM4Water<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/showcase\/bim4water\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Linkedin<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr Susan Lattanzio<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Deputy director<\/p>\n<p>Made Smarter Innovation: Centre for People-Led Digitalisation<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:p-ld@bath.ac.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">p-ld@bath.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bath.ac.uk\/projects\/made-smarter-innovation-centre-for-people-led-digitalisation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.bath.ac.uk\/projects\/made-smarter-innovation-centre-for-people-led-digitalisation\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/made-smarter-centre-for-people-led-digitalisation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Linkedin<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCu8IhyQvfKsCtkXvUyCKgOA\/videos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Youtube<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BIM4Water is partnering with the \u00a35m Made Smarter Innovation: Centre for People-Led Digitalisation to ensure people are at the heart of digital transformation. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[305],"tags":[157244,94656,172727,802],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-119113","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-bim-news","7":"tag-bim-today-december-2022","8":"tag-digital","9":"tag-featured","10":"tag-water-management"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Putting people at the core of digitalisation in the water sector<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"BIM4Water is joining with the \u00a35m Made Smarter Innovation: Centre for People-Led Digitalisation, to ensure people are at the core of digitalisation in the water sector\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction-news\/bim-news\/putting-people-at-core-digitalisation-water-sector\/119113\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Putting people at the core of digitalisation in the water sector\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"BIM4Water is partnering with the \u00a35m Made Smarter Innovation: Centre for People-Led Digitalisation to ensure people are at the heart of digital transformation\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction-news\/bim-news\/putting-people-at-core-digitalisation-water-sector\/119113\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
