The AEC industry needs to adopt these practices in order to address the ever increasing needs of technology demanding projects as well as the needs of building owners and developers who need to manage and maintain these buildings for decades to come.  It is also a crucial part to attracting the brightest and most creative minds of the next generation to consider the AEC industry as an exciting and challenging field to enter in to.  All things considered, there has never been a more exciting and demanding time to be part of this incredibly dynamic industry.
