I am a big believer in timely feedback and communication.
Particularly as a client or customer it is important so that the people providing you with services, and other stuff, have the opportunity to change things for the better. In my opinion that is the point, to be able to make things better for me, and for everyone else too. So routinely provide feedback to people when I think it adds value, that includes praise as well as constructive criticism.
If you don’t speak up and share, how can you expect any change.
I have recently been making a few posts on the Autodesk Ideas forums, mostly around the BIM 360 tools, or Autodesk Construction Cloud.
To day I posted this around simply making the file editing 100% secure for a collaborative workplace, which should want nothing less.
If you didn’t know these forums are a way for customers to provide feedback to Autodesk. Several of the ideas posted in these forums make it into the tools and services. If you sign in, you can not only post your own idea, but vote on those posted by others. Posts that get the most votes get the most attention.
Of course not ever Idea will make it in even if it is the top voted. There is a lot that needs to be considered before any code can even be considered. But if you don’t speak up, how can you expect any change. So get in there and vote and speak up with your ideas.
Feel free to “@” me in the comments, I’ll do my best to review your ideas and vote as well (assuming I agree with you).
If you would like to see all of my posted ideas and comments, check out this link.
