<p>It&rsquo;s well established that diverse teams outperform homogeneous teams in business. But once you have that diverse team, how do you support their continued growth and innovation?&nbsp;In the end, it&rsquo;s by cultivating a sense of belonging for those on your team, according to Andrea Robb. When we feel like we belong, we&rsquo;re more willing to take risks, learn new skills, and ultimately do our best work. And building a culture of belonging is something that we all need to take responsibility for, not just managers or those in HR.</p>

<p>Digitizing building design turned out to be the easy part. Digitizing construction is more challenging. Dr. Lucas Winter and the team at CONTAKT are repurposing approaches from discreet manufacturing to boost productivity on the construction site. Their system involves attaching IoT sensors on key construction components like formwork, then collecting and interrogating sensor data about position, movement, and temperature to gain insight into progress. And when you can measure, you can improve. </p>

<h2>About the speaker
