Family Troubles?
Switching to any new software or system can be a daunting task leaving many firms wondering where to start. While there is no perfect way to approach the process of learning, the key is to understand the process of learning and adapting to any system is cyclical and will continue to repeat until you move to another system, where the cycle perpetuates once again.
The Implementation Cycle
The steps below are in an order, but the process is cyclical and each firms chooses where to begin.
Essentials Training
- Initial Training for the Entire staff: anyone who will touch the program or use the system. This sets the fundamental and essential program knowledge base and defines systematic practices in order for everyone in the firm to speak the same language.
- intern / New Hire Training for those new to the industry who may have “learned” how to use Revit in school, but lack systematic understanding, best practices in their industry, and other Revit skills needed in the real world.
- Refresher Training for “More Experience Users”. We are always surprised that we didn’t know what we don’t know.
- Partner, Project Manager, and Owner Training for those who need to know how to market their firm’s BIM skills, manage the BIM team, and / or write contracts for the project, as there are Revit and BIM-specific concerns which need to be addressed.
