Module 1: Foundations of Digitalisation
Modul 1: Grundlagen der Digitalisierung
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 16:01:43
Abstract
Key terms: Digital transformation is more than digitisation of existing processes and information
Objective
Independently of the building industry, Module 1 initially provides information about the characteristics of digitalisation through its principles and rules, enabling the participants to independently recognise the short-term and long-term changes that are resulting from it.
Content
The first module addresses the topic of digitalisation and digital transformation in a holistic sense. It is much more than converting documents into PDFs or using software. It is about transforming processes, resources and information into a consistent and efficient digital system to make life easier for employees and customers. This journey always involves change. From the perspective of other industries, we first build up a basic understanding and discuss the opportunities and risks. How do the experiences of other industries help us? What can be derived from them? Why is BIM only a small part and why is the future of BIM not BIM?
