Last year, I facilitated a roundtable discussion primarily with owners and operators, which I summarized for Smart Buildings Magazine (see here). This discussion and the outreach surrounding it significantly influenced the five other gatherings I curated throughout the year, as well as much of my writing on LinkedIn.

To kick off this year, I facilitated a roundtable on Smart Enablement with Aleksandra Dasala, the former head of SmartScore Research at WiredScore. We engaged with industry professionals who are directly involved in the design and deployment of digital buildings. During our discussion, we explored upcoming trends and the challenges faced in the smart enablement of these buildings. Aleksandra and I reported on the findings of the day for Smart Buildings Magazine in our article, “What’s Smarter Now in Design and Deployment for Digital Buildings?” In this piece, you can read about how participants perceive value in smaller, focused, yet more representative agile groups collaborating effectively to fill gaps in existing frameworks.
