Top Ten CAD Manager Failures - the First Five Most of opportunities for failure come upon us from beyond our control. They require us to apply resources and solutions that are a combination of our talent, training and technology to turn them into successes. But sometimes opportunities for failure are created by those who are focused on success and they don’t even know it. I want to take a look at another five. Last time we looked at failing to define the target, watch the process, care about quality, learning new things and experimenting. Go back and read the first five here. And by the way, I have stepped into every one of these at some point. They are the things that might happen to you if you are not careful to avoid them. Here are the next five of these areas –in no particular order.

AutoCAD 2010 - Bloggers Speak Out Here are some recent links to blogs that have posted on AutoCAD 2010. There was an unveiling event held in San Francisco, but I was unable to attend. So I figured I would provide you with a brief list from some that did attend and some who did not and from Autodeskers. Read from this list of blogs...
A Tour
of the Autodesk Gallery BIM Manager Blog
I created a new blog specifically for BIM Management
issues. I will be blogging on the people and process side of BIM. Some
of these topics may overlap with CAD Management, but many will specifically
address BIM. I just started this - so stay tuned as more content is
added.
