CAD Managers Becoming BIM Managers Becoming… LinkedIn

If you're interested in CAD/BIM Management Scott Rosenbloom has a LinkedIn Group that you should consider joining. It's intended to cover the process, impacts and methods, rather than application detail, of changing from drawing lines to managing building information. From what I've seen this presents more of an obstacle to change than the applications themselves. Have a look at the group, which is just starting up, and consider getting involved:

LinkedIn - CAD Managers Becoming BIM Managers Becoming…
I’d like this group to become a centralized place for us to discuss how we employ BIM knowledge. For example, let’s not discuss how to create a particular family type or set the most appropriate rendering settings. Let’s discuss the situation that occurred to cause us to need to build that block and how we handled it. Discussions like this could even expand to a web conference to show management-based processes (ie. file/object organization, standards, best practices, etc.). This group should be a place to discuss topics from an industry-wide scale to an individual job scale.

Scott's own blog focuses on BIM related topics and techniques. He's recently changed from Blogger to his own site at:

This blog will contain tutorials and processes I’ve learned about 3DS MAX 2009 (Design or Not Design), Revit Architecture 2009, AutoCAD 2009, SketchUp and Digital Design Management roles (CAD Manager, BIM Manager, 3D guru, cheerleader, and IT person all rolled into one).
