41. Macro Diffusion Responsibilities

This conceptual model (Figure 1) identifies nine BIM player groups (industry stakeholders) distributed across three BIM Fields (technology, process and policy) as defined within the BIM Framework. The nine player groups are: policy makers, educational institutions, construction organisations, individual practitioners, technology developers, technology service providers, industry associations, communities of practice, and technology advocates.

1. The Tri-Axial Framework

This conceptual model explains the multi-dimensional relationship between the three main components of the BIM framework: BIM fields of activity identifying domain players, their requirements and deliverables; BIM stages delineating minimum capability benchmarks; and BIM lenses providing the depth and breadth of enquiry necessary to identify, assess and qualify BIM fields and BIM stages.
