• Applying systems thinking to connect digital information across the built environment
• Using data-driven insights to enhance performance, sustainability, and value creation
• Practical lessons from the National Digital Twin Programme on collaboration and implementation

• Understand what the latest industry collaborations mean for compliance, safety, and high-quality information management
• Discuss how OCN-accredited micro-credentials are enhancing competence through soft skills, improved information management, and a focus on data cleanliness, integration, and interoperability
• Explore how organisations can prepare for Gateway 3 compliance by embedding digital construction skills, reducing risk, and ensuring safer outcomes for buildings and residents

• A guided walkthrough of the Information Management Interventions (IMI) Framework and how it supports consistent, high-quality information management across projects
• How AI-powered search and classification tools can streamline information retrieval, reduce manual effort, and improve decision-making
• Practical examples of how the IMI Framework and AI search are being adopted in practice

This nima session offers an in-depth look at what information management (IM) really means for the built and managed environment and why it’s critical for today’s projects. We will explore the principles of the Information Management Initiative (IMI), providing an understanding of how it provides a structured framework for capturing, sharing and using information consistently across the lifecycle of assets. Through practical examples and case studies, the session will highlight the tangible value IM brings: improved decision-making, reduced risk, enhanced collaboration and better outcomes for projects and organisations.

Our nima panellists also showcase the role of change-makers, the professionals driving adoption, championing data-driven approaches and shaping a culture where information becomes a strategic asset rather than just a by product. Participants will leave with a clear understanding of IM, the benefits of IMI and actionable insights to apply in their own organisations.
