Sweden is famous for more than ABBA and IKEA. It also consistently ranks near the top on global lists of the happiest, healthiest countries. One reason may be its culture of exercise-based team-building events, like the one that 35 of our Swedish colleagues recently experienced. Trimble's Brecht Vercaempst explains: "Last Thursday we participated in the Convini Stafetten in Stockholm. This massive event (over 10,000 participants) combines a great workout with team building in beautiful scenery on the outskirts of Stockholm. A lovely summer afternoon with beautiful weather made the event all the more enjoyable. "Participants can either run in a relay team of five (each runs 5 km) or do the track together walking. Trimble Danderyd had three relay teams running and 20 enthusiasts walking, as well as some much-appreciated supporters along the track cheering us on. "Madness at the mass start (push or get pushed!), existential questions during the race (Why am I doing this? Are we there yet? What is going on here? Where am I? Who am I? What day is it today?), the runner's high once you've found your pace, sheer delight when crossing the finish line and passing the baton over to your teammate who's running next – those are just a few of the stops on this emotional rollercoaster. "One colleague answered, 'Terrible!' with a huge smile on his face when he crossed the finish line and was asked how he was feeling. It sums up perfectly how we all enjoyed this amazing event. "Thank you to the team who took care of our registration and organized this for our staff, and congrats to all who participated!"

Making connections: Matthew Ramage loves the #TrimbleDimensions user conference because of the magic that happens when people interact with their colleagues at other companies: "I'd say one of the biggest benefits of being at Dimensions is actually the networking opportunity. New ideas, new innovation comes from connection with other people in a similar space." And when you engage with peers who work outside your area of expertise, "that just makes us all more knowledgeable. Knowledge sharing is absolutely crucial in our industry for pushing forward." Matt also encourages attendees to become active catalysts in the learning process to get the most from the sessions and experiences at Dimensions: "These aren't just for sitting and watching and downloading. It is for engaging. There are people on stage that want to hear the questions. ... It's an opportunity to really interact on new ideas, new ways of working, taking those back and deploying them in your own profession, your own daily work."

"I believe the free movement of data between systems and workflows is the next great unlock in construction productivity. The end goal is for all data to be accessible and interconnected, regardless of location or origin — from surveying and architectural design, to construction management and operations and maintenance. While that dream is still coming to fruition, gains are being made in the software space, helping contractors work more efficiently and profitably."
