Background

BIMinNZ is a one-day conference on Building Information Modelling (BIM) representing an industry partnership between the New Zealand Institute of Building (NZIOB) and the BIM Acceleration Committee (BAC). BAC was created out of the government-sponsored Building and Construction Productivity Partnership, which viewed BIM as a leading tool to enhance productivity levels in the sector.

The inaugural BIMinNZ Conference is envisaged and delivered by industry, for industry, with funding support from the Building Research Levy.

Purpose

The aim of BIMinNZ is to demonstrate to New Zealand’s building and construction industry the ways in which BIM, and other digital technologies, will continue to change the way buildings and infrastructure are designed, documented, delivered and maintained.

BIMinNZ will not only provide relevant and inspiring examples of where BIM sits within the project environment, but also provide a forum where New Zealand’s existing and emerging BIM users can meet, discuss, and engage with New Zealand’s BIM innovators.

Our Difference

The Conference programme and speaker identification have been undertaken by the BIM Acceleration Committee’s training arm, the NZ BIM Industry Training Group. This, along with Conference logistics being undertaken by the NZIOB (a membership association), means that BIMinNZ has a strong local connection and knowledge base.

The outcome is a forum representing the New Zealand BIM community’s dream speaker line-up who will address topics, both relevant and inspiring, to local building and construction industry practitioners.

Shawn Achor – New York Times bestselling author and Founder of GoodThinkInc (USA)

New York Times bestselling author Shawn Achor is our opening speaker at the BIMinNZ Conference 2022. Shawn’s interest in how collective performance gains of individuals contribute to an elevated eco-system performance, fits in well with the BIMinNZ Conference theme, Building our Digital Community.

Throughout his career, Shawn has used research and case studies to show practical ways in which individuals and teams can enhance the ecosystem of potential via the maxim: expand power out, defend the system against the negative, and sustain the gains. Drawing from his latest book Big Potential, and his recent consultancy work with clients such as NASA and the US Marines (Camp Pendleton), Shawn‘s BIMinNZ presentation will provide strategies and tools for us to develop resilience for both ourselves (the individual), while collectively growing the resilience of the companies and industry in which we work (the ecosystem).

Shawn graduated magna cum laude from Harvard and earned a Master’s from Harvard Divinity School in Christian and Buddhist ethics. After spending 12 years at Harvard, Shawn traveled to 50 countries studying how to create an interconnected approach to potential and happiness. In every place Shawn has found the optimism can be increased through mindset and behavioural change, and that by creating an interconnected approach to happiness and success, we shine brighter together. Shawn’s research made the cover of Harvard Business Review, his TED talk is one of the most popular of all time with over 22 million views, and his lecture airing on PBS has been seen by millions.
