Momentum

Loss of Momentum

BIM Survey Results - How many BIM Managers are there?


MOMENTUM

Momentum is defined as the power that is resident in a moving object.

The amount of momentum that an object has depends on two physical quantities: the mass and the velocity of the moving object in the frame of reference. In physics, the usual symbol for momentum is a bold p (bold because it is a vector); so this can be written p= mv where p is the momentum, m is the mass and v is the velocity.

When I think of momentum as it relates to leadership, I think of  how one success makes the next success easier. One problem fixed makes the next one a little less challenging.  A series of small successes makes a large success more possible and even probable.

In the CAD world, getting past a stumbling block or system trial allows you to see beyond the current frustrations to the next possibility.  Momentum is what is needed to press ahead on  your projects.  Momentum is the energy to make it up the next CAD or BIM hill or jump the next hurdle.

How do you generate momentum?

LOSS OF MOMENTUM

Loss of Momentum can happen and it will slow your CAD efforts down.

Momentum, from a physics perspective, is constant in a closed system.  "Total momentum of a closed system of objects (which has no interactions with external agents) is constant. One of the consequences of this is that the center of mass of any system of objects will always continue with the same velocity unless acted on by a force from outside the system." (Wikipedia)

So if it were a perfect world, your progress and advancement in CAD would continue at the same speed and success that you achieved in the past.  And this would go on forever.

But - this is not a perfect world...

BIM SURVEY RESULTS - HOW MANY BIM MANAGERS ARE THERE?

How many BIM Managers are there?

I asked this question on my Annual BIM Survey and so did AUGI.  AUGI did its Salary Survey for 2010 and published the results in AUGIWorld magazine which you can see the full report here.

I want to zero in on the BIM Manager title to see how it has changed over the years.  I looked back to 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Take a look at what I found.

WELCOME

Ending the year...

Looking back over 2010 gives me pause to be thankful for all the interactions I have had with my readers and others. I appreciate the kind words and suggestions and wish that I had more time to write.

I am looking forward to 2011.

Are you?
