BIM4Water has identified 4D as a critical collaborative tool to aid leaner, safer and smarter working and project management. SkillsThe “Skills Group” is specifically aligned to look at readying the water industry with digital skill-sets to assist and support resources and succession planning in AMP 7. Asset Data StandardsThis group focuses on asset data such as the Standard Product Data Template form which enables product manufacturers to supply non-graphical information, following PAS 1192, about their products for use in water industry projects; and using the Uniclass Water industry guide published last year there is a standard asset naming convention, which resulted from collaboration with UK water companies, BIM4Water,WSAA and NBS. Owner OperatorThe Group will define a set of key initiatives to develop a common understanding across the value chain that will be developed and implemented. Water Data TaskforceThe Groups aim is to be a leading voice in the industry – helping our regulators to develop a strategy for a more open, transparent and centralised water data framework. Communications and engagementThis Group supports all aspects of the BIM4Water team including marketing, publicity, Collaboration Agreement and promoting events Data Quality Governance and Security Task GroupThis group supports the current activities of all BIM4Water task groups by defining best practice for data management processes (Data Quality, Data Security, Data Governance, and supporting processes) and will underpin the pathway towards national digital twins for critical infrastructure. Water Digital Roadmap 2022-2026To assist with our aim BIM4Water has developed a five-year Roadmap that sets out the direction, key steps and outcomes we will deliver. The interactive Roadmap is divided in 5 workstream Digital Transformation, Knowledge, Leadership, Communication and Governance. In developing this programme of work there was a close liaison with the Centre for Digital Built Britain to ensure there was alignment with their own Roadmap. 
Our Objectives Are:• To facilitate the development of digital plans that include the creation and modification of existing processes, using digital technologies to deliver improved productivity benefits in a changing business and market environment.
• To provide direction for a framework covering knowledge management and its creation, and aide decision making that can enable best practice to be adopted across the water industry.
• To provide guidance on the digital skills and capabilities to enable an organisation to benefit from the transformation, ensuring that staff are taken along the digital transformation journey.
• To be recognised as an authority in Digital Transformation, to facilitate and collaborate across the “BIM community”, where our knowledge, advice, and material is sought and shared.
