Yesterday I had the good fortune to meet with a Vico customer in Finland who is working with us to deploy Vico Office as a key "system" to run their company.  We were talking about how to help his company change their estimating system and what a challenge that would be. 

It is amazing how big a challenge change can be if you try to do it yourself.  For example, the other day I was playing Wii with my son and for about 5 minutes I was holding the remote control in my left hand and the nunchuk in my right hand.  It was the first time I had used both controls and I was learning to play a Star Wars game where you have light saber battles while trying to navigate an obstacle course.  After the first five minutes I noticed my son (who is right-handed also) was using the controls in the opposite hands so I switched....  

Well, you would be surprised after only five minutes of learning how my mind and fingers resisted this change!  I was unable to be effective because I had become used to doing it one way and now I was trying to change.

My point about change is that it is not easy and it is a process.  There is a great proverb: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." -by Confucius.  What this means in regard to improving your ability to utilize Virtual Construction is that it will not be easy and there will be doubters but the benefits you can achieve are huge and valuable.  Perhaps it would be good to examine or study how to accomplish change before you begin using Virtual Construction technology, there is a lot of great material out there to assist you.  But remember, if you and your team are properly motivated, that is to say you are doing it to improve your business, then you can and will succeed.

Good luck, and "may the force be with you."
