Fostering digital transformation through project integration management
Fostering digital transformation through project integration management
The construction industry has fared poorly in the process of digital transformation, while the main challenging is the digital transformation of construction projects. Although the introduction of various digital technologies have brought progress to the digitalisation of construction projects, their transformational effects to the whole project has still not been reached because of adverse organisantional factors. Therefore, changes in project management approach are urgently required in construction organisations to better align digital technology and organisational conditions. However, the existing research on the digital transformation of construction projects has mainly limited to technical dimensions, whereas few literature has explored the pivotal role of project management approach from an organisational perspective. To fill this gap in literature, this research aims to investigate the ways of using project integration management to promote the digital transformation of construction projects through a case study. A framework of integration management of construction projects has been developed through literature review. A representative construction project in mainland China was selected as the case and the collected data will be systematically analysed based on the framework to establish a project integration management model for digital transformation of construction projects. The model will help transform the project organisation to better fit with digital technology and provide a method for construction enterprises to promote the project digital transformation.

Abstract
The construction industry has fared poorly in the process of digital transformation, while the main challenging is the digital transformation of construction projects. Although the introduction of various digital technologies have brought progress to the digitalisation of construction projects, their transformational effects to the whole project has still not been reached because of adverse organisantional factors. Therefore, changes in project management approach are urgently required in construction organisations to better align digital technology and organisational conditions. However, the existing research on the digital transformation of construction projects has mainly limited to technical dimensions, whereas few literature has explored the pivotal role of project management approach from an organisational perspective. To fill this gap in literature, this research aims to investigate the ways of using project integration management to promote the digital transformation of construction projects through a case study. A framework of integration management of construction projects has been developed through literature review. A representative construction project in mainland China was selected as the case and the collected data will be systematically analysed based on the framework to establish a project integration management model for digital transformation of construction projects. The model will help transform the project organisation to better fit with digital technology and provide a method for construction enterprises to promote the project digital transformation.
