The change I would like to implement.

Briefly describe the change that is needed, and why it is essential.

The construction industry is very labor-intensive and one of the significant sources of employment in the world. The industry has been experiencing low productivity with minimum technological innovations for decades. Various automation technologies, including 3D printing (3DP), have received increasing interest in construction. They found 3D printing in construction to be very promising to automate the construction processes and save laborious work, material waste, construction time, risky operation for humans, etc. They have conducted a vast body of research to understand the recent advances, prospects, and challenges of large-scale adoption of 3D printing in construction projects.

Using the Expanded Vision Matrix tool, draft your vision statement for this initiative.

There is an opportunity for us to combine technology with humanitarian-driven goals. I envision a future where we close the global opportunity gap (2021).

So instead of following the usual construction process that would take months, the team will use a robotic 3D printer designed by COBOD International. The tech allows a schoolcomplete with all foundational, electrical, and plumbing essentialsto be built in under seven days with limited skilled labor.
