Webinar: How Will the Fourth Industrial Revolution Affect Campus Operations?

The presentation begins with a brief introduction to the concept of The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) and acknowledging the work of Klaus Schwab. It moves to a thought experiment intended to demonstrate qualitative differences between previous revolutions in technology and industry and the rapid change we are currently engaged in. A discussion of the theoretical factors in change leads to a set of tangible examples of 4IR in the campus construction environment. The webinar concludes with a set of ideas on how facilities managers can harness developing opportunities.
