  3. Process: The means and methods by which the BIM NAVIGATOR are accomplished, including understanding current South African processes, designing new BIM processes and developing transition processes within an African context.
  4. Partnerships: The resources needed to support the BIM initiative, including building relationships with software vendors, hardware vendors, and industry professionals.
  5. Personnel: The effects of BIM on the personnel, including the roles and responsibilities, the structure or hierarchy, the education and training programs, and change readiness required for Africa to adopt BIM.
