The Real Work of Digital Change in Construction

Silke Jagusch is a project coordinator at Ludwig Freytag, one of Germany’s largest civil engineering and construction groups, and she is responsible for digitising a construction company with 400 vendors, hundreds of workers, and a workforce that (like most) doesn’t love change.

In this episode of Field Stories, she walks through what happens when a construction business tries to move from paper to digital: the department-by-department rollout, the 14 versions of one software, the daily work of getting people to see that a change is a good change.

The honest version of digital transformation, from someone doing it.
