• Experience developing current-state assessments, future-state operating models, digital delivery strategies, governance frameworks, implementation roadmaps, or enterprise solution architectures.
• Demonstrated ability to connect information and workflows across BIM, GIS, common data environments, program management, construction, asset management, analytics, or related systems.
• Experience defining data standards, information requirements, governance responsibilities, integration approaches, and lifecycle information strategies.
• Experience guiding multidisciplinary solutions from discovery and architecture through implementation, adoption, and continuous improvement.
