Abstract

The digitalization of the AEC sector, while steadily progressing, has been largely driven by technological adoption rather than by a transformation of its organizational structures. Within construction 5.0, the AEC organizations have not been investigated in depth. For this reason, exploratory research is currently underway to examine the mutual impact between digital transformation and organizational structures, but it has not yet been fully developed. For this reason, this research examined a joint conceptual model between digital transformation and organizational structures. Based on a previous conceptual model, a panel of industry and academic experts will conduct an assessment. This assessment was conducted using the Delphi method, bringing together 40 academic experts and industry-leading professionals to provide a holistic view of digital transformation, both theoretical and practical. The experts' responses were analyzed using statistical methods, including Kendall's concordance, level of importance, consensus, and Mann-Whitney analysis. The main findings from this study show a consensus among the experts in the conceptual model, having as the most relevant variables Transformational Leadership, Data Integration and Analytics, Knowledge Management, and Integrated Organizational Innovation (IOI) are critical in a joint digital-organizational implementation, this conceptual model provides a vision to construction companies to improve their productivity and achieve their goals through digital transformation and organizational redesign in the context of construction 5.0.
