What does it take to make PLM work for the people who use it every day? In this episode of Data-driven Shipbuilding, Beatriz Gonzalez from Share PLM and Ankit Talati from Cadmatic discuss the human side of PLM in shipbuilding. They explore why technology alone is not enough, how change management and user involvement support adoption, and what the Cadmatic and Share PLM partnership brings to successful PLM projects.
Key topics in this episode:
- What the recent Share PLM event revealed about AI uncertainty, and why companies are putting their data and people first
- Why shipbuilding’s many stakeholders, including designers, procurement, class societies and ship owners, need a domain-specific PLM built around shared data
- How organizational change management (OCM) works best when it’s part of the technical work, from requirements gathering to user stories and testing
- Process-based training that fits how each shipyard learns, with face-to-face sessions and a train-the-trainer approach that turns key users into ambassadors
- How the Cadmatic and Share PLM partnership started, and what shipbuilding PLM could look like over the next five years
