What happens when industry leaders in engineering, supply chain, and construction sit at the same table? In Milan, we found out.
Earlier this month, Teknobuilt hosted an exclusive Executive Roundtable, bringing together senior leaders from across the value chain to explore one big question: how can digital innovation turn strategy into execution on mega projects?
Led by Yogesh Srivastava and Dr. Consuelo Granata, the event created a dynamic space where owners and EPC contractors shared not just ideas, but real-world experiences from the field.
From Talk to Transformation
What made this roundtable different was the shift from abstract conversations to actionable insights. Instead of asking “What’s possible with AI, AWP, or digital twins?”, participants asked “How do we actually make it work in the field — with crews, supply chains, and deadlines?”
Discussions moved beyond the hype of technology into the heart of transformation:
- How to bridge the gap between planning and field execution so that strategies don’t stay stuck in PowerPoints.
- The importance of embedding digital tools into daily workflows, not just adding them as extra layers.
- How leadership alignment and governance can turn early wins into scalable results across an organization.
The exchange highlighted that transformation doesn’t happen through grand visions alone. It happens when owners, EPCs, and contractors come together to break down silos, share accountability, and create a shared system of truth.
This spirit of collaboration was the real engine of the Milan roundtable — and a reminder that the path from talk to transformation is not only possible, but already happening.
The Big Takeaway
The roundtable highlighted a clear consensus: technology is no longer the blocker — adoption and integration are. Many organizations still struggle to move beyond pilot projects because tools remain fragmented, workflows disconnected, and teams unconvinced of tangible benefits.
This is where platforms like PACE OS are proving critical. A few key lessons stood out:
- From silos to systems: Point solutions often fail because they don’t connect the full project lifecycle. PACE OS unifies engineering, procurement, and construction in one environment, enabling a single source of truth across stakeholders.
- Scaling what works: Instead of experimenting endlessly, companies need platforms built for scale. PACE OS transforms successful pilots into enterprise-wide solutions with proven results on cost, schedule, and quality.
- Empowering people through usability: Technology adoption accelerates when teams see clear benefits in their daily routines. With PACE OS’s digital construction blocks™, planning and execution become intuitive, translating innovation into productivity.
- Leadership alignment through visibility: Executives and project managers can finally work from the same live data, ensuring decisions are made with transparency and accountability.
The big takeaway is that digital transformation is not about chasing the newest tool — it’s about embedding a platform that connects strategy to execution. Companies using PACE OS are already seeing measurable gains: reduced rework, optimized schedules, and stronger collaboration across the value chain.
In short, the future belongs to organizations that stop “talking digital” and start working digital with platforms designed to deliver real, scalable transformation.

Looking Ahead
The Milan roundtable reaffirmed that digital transformation is about more than technology — it’s about connecting people, processes, and purpose. Platforms like PACE OS are no longer optional; they are essential to bridging strategy and execution on mega projects. By unifying workflows across engineering, procurement, and construction, PACE OS provides a single source of truth that empowers teams, aligns leadership, and scales proven results.
Looking ahead, the path to transformation is clear:
- Driving enterprise-wide adoption: PACE OS enables organizations to move beyond pilot projects by embedding digital construction blocks™ into daily operations, ensuring technology is not just used, but leveraged for measurable impact.
- Enabling real-time collaboration: With live project data accessible to all stakeholders, PACE OS fosters transparency, faster decision-making, and shared accountability across owners, EPCs, and contractors.
- Scaling success: Proven pilots can be expanded effortlessly across multiple projects and geographies, turning lessons learned into enterprise-wide best practices.
- Empowering teams through usability: Intuitive design ensures teams see immediate benefits in planning, execution, and reporting, accelerating adoption and driving productivity gains.
- Aligning leadership with visibility: Executives can monitor performance metrics in real-time, ensuring that strategy, governance, and operational execution are fully synchronized.
The Milan roundtable was not the conclusion — it was a launchpad for ongoing innovation powered by PACE OS. Organizations that embrace this platform are positioned to deliver projects faster, safer, and more efficiently, transforming abstract strategy into tangible outcomes.
To all participants: thank you for your insights and commitment to shaping the future of project delivery. By continuing to collaborate and adopt platforms like PACE OS, we are defining a new standard for excellence in construction execution.
