Changemakers

Breaking barriers to building better is our goal for the design and industrialized construction industry. We can’t do it alone. We turned to leaders across the ecosystem to share their insights, solutions, and ideas on what’s needed for the future.

For this series, we spoke to 14 changemakers from Walt Disney Imagineering, JLL, Gensler, CannonDesign, Babson College, Velcu Coaching, Architects of Achievement, Kaleidoscope Concept, Built Interior Construction, and DIRTT who shared what needs to be done to empower people with the resilience and agility they need to thrive in times of change.
