The term Poka-Yoke translates to "mistake-proofing, " and relies on transparency and simplicity of process for its success. "We have a lot of visibility with Procore, " Novak says. "It’s easy to access, easy to use—it’s intuitive. Procore helps us stay simple, and we love the fact that we can archive everything, all project data, and refer back to it—forever. " Novak gestures, palms up. "All the specialty trades want is clear direction. Right? If you have a platform that gives them real-time clear direction, and it’s easy to access—that’s going to make the job 10 times better. "
Compass’ reputation for just-in-time, customised delivery relies on a construction management system as flexible and nimble as it has to be. "The way Procore is set up, it doesn’t force you to do anything a certain way. It allows you to standardise, and it allows you to be both individual and entrepreneurial. So you have enough flexibility to maintain your unique identity, without having chaos with the software. "
Novak also believes technology reaches its full potential only when powered by human intuitions and interpersonal connectivity. "I used to go to the jobsites and I would notice if they weren’t a connected team. They would say, you know, ‘This is what the machine told me’. There was no gut behind it. " Tech-averse builders might agree with Compass Datacenters’ SVP of Construction about one thing. "That human interface, " Novak says emphatically, "being able to talk to people and feel that temperature on the site, and get that color—it allows you to have that gut check against the data that comes forward. I’ve always felt that was important. "
