Everyone out there listening, we're speaking with Adam Krob today.

And construction technology visionary, we have to differentiate nowadays because there is a difference in IT.

There's some things that are very different and there's some things that are same.

I think we probably all experience some of the similar problems when it comes to leadership,

but we have different problems when it comes to, I don't know, ERP systems or softwares that we use or something like that across

various different industries. So some people end up taking, I've never really asked this question.

What do you think? Do you think in IT, do you think someone, in IT leadership in general, do you think

someone should focus on a market or a niche market or do you think they should jump around?

You know, I've jumped around a bit. so I can say that I probably prefer the jumping around,

although it's taken me a long time to truly understand the construction industry in depth.

It's very much its own thing.

I started out on an educational technology and working in universities, which kind of gave me a

broader brush approach to technology because there was a lot going on with a lot of different

kinds of people using technology where, you know, if I were in manufacturing or in finance or something

like that, it's a lot more focused.

But construction, it is its own little

world, particularly in terms of the financials. There's a lot of oddities in terms of, you know,

contract structures that affect ERP systems, that affect payroll systems. So understanding that

applies, I would imagine buying construction materials.

I would imagine with fluctuation and pricing and stuff, must have been interesting during

COVID.

Were you in construction during COVID?
