Season 1, Episode 2: Single & Unrepeatable (w/ Bobbi Jo Provost)

In Act 1, Tyler tells a building story challenging us to consider a connected building technology platform infrastructure in the same way we consider our smart phones - unique and personal via the implementation of apps and services. He asks: how do we as an industry set ourselves up for a future of more personalized, smart building app experiences? In Act 2, we are joined by Bobbi Jo Provost, Construction Sales Manager for BMS, Security and IT at Schneider Electric's New York/New Jersey Branch Office. With her experience in one of the world's most progressive and competitive building construction and technology markets, Bobbi Jo shares her insights on the solutions and experiences that are being demanded of her high-performance team. She discusses the critical importance and value added by employing converged platforms that integrate multiple, historically disparate building systems like HVAC, lighting, and security to name a few. She shares that while we have access to incredible technology today, we are still on the forefront of how customers will be deploying applications (and that's okay!). Equally important, she advises decision-makers in our industry to invest in innovative partners for projects who embrace ambiguity and are willing to bring their app and services visions to life. Bobbi Jo also discusses how the changing landscape of building technology impacts and influences the behavior of general contracting firms, design engineering firms, and technology firms. She finishes by describing her passion for participating in the fast-paced NYC market: "I wouldn't have it any other way." Outro Music: "Master of None" by Beach House
