Long before the first shovel hits the dirt of any school construction or reconstruction project, the technology leadership team must be brought to the table (perhaps even the head of the table). Tech leaders see capital projects through a different lens, and this webinar will explore in detail the benefits of incorporating their guidance early and often. Lewellen will represent the compelling data collected from brand new research conducted about the role technology leaders play in construction projects, and Dayton and Mozdzierz will provide the first-hand experience of construction projects they've guided as a technology leader. Together, the presenters will provide a roadmap for how to save money and time, facilitate a collaborative construction team environment, and avoid long-term frustrations about the final product.
