When Social Science meets LEAN and BIM
Lean construction and Building Information Modelling (BIM) are important means of on-going change and improvement in the construction industry. However, the achievement of the proposed benefits from both approaches needs to appropriately consider business processes and environment, which are highly influenced by social phenomena. Thus, there is a clear need and opportunity for a social science perspective in this context.
Historically, the field of management, understood as social science, has dissociated itself from concerns related to design and production. Furthermore, it can be argued that the current on-going transformation has been somewhat fragmented, and as such it provides a challenge for social science oriented research.
The current changes in industry through new processes and the use of technology is also a major opportunity for social science researchers to observe social and psychological phenomena such as creativity, problem-solving, collaboration, co-design, commitment and trust, which may lead to improved methods and models of management. The evolving technological and business landscape provides many interesting puzzles and contradictions for researchers to study.
In view of these issues, the ambition of the workshop is to discuss and clarify the following: What are the important social science research questions in relation to Lean and BIM? Which social science approaches and methods are effective and useful in this context? How can we reconcile the apparent contradictions between technological, sociological and psychological viewpoints to design and construction activities?

Dr Arto Kiviniemi
Dr Arto Kiviniemi, Professor of Digital Architectural Design at the School of Architecture in the University of Liverpool, has developed integrated Building Information Modelling (BIM) both in Finland and internationally since 1996. In 1997 Tekes (Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation) invited Arto to lead the national R&D programme “Vera – Information Networking in the Construction Process 1997-2002”. The programme created the foundation for Finland’s position as one of the leading countries using BIM in the industry. In May 2010 Arto moved to UK and worked first as a Professor at the School of Built Environment in the University of Salford until he moved to his current position at the University of Liverpool in September 2013.
Internationally Arto’s main activities have been related to the International Alliance for Interoperability, now known as building SMART International, where he has acted as the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the International Council and Executive Committee and as the Chairman of the International Technical Management Committee. Currently he is a member of the International Technical Advisory Group.
Arto has presented 140+ keynote and invited lectures in international seminars and conferences around the world since 1996. For his international merits in developing integrated BIM Arto received the FIATECH CETI Outstanding Researcher Award in March 2009 and the Order of the Knight of White Rose of Finland in December 2012.
