Factors affecting ICT diffusion in Australian construction\ud organisations – the storey from the big end

Our survey findings confirm that 11 factors influence information and communication\ud technology (ICT) diffusion for experienced ICT users. We offer a model that consists\ud of 4 groups of categories: management (M); individual (I); technology (T); and\ud environment (E). Our conclusions reinforce the importance of a coherent ICT\ud diffusion strategy and supportive environment. This requires substantial investment in\ud training and collegial learning support mechanisms. This paper provides an overview\ud of the work undertaken and an analysis of its implications for the construction\ud industry and we provide useful insights that a wide range of construction industry\ud professionals and contractors may find useful
