Rethinking Reuse of Data by Regenerative Management

Abstract: This paper introduces a regenerative mindset from Regenerative Agriculture (RA) that fosters robust reuse of information in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Facility Management (AEC/FM) sector. By stacking enterprises and forging virtuous cycles, RA principles highlight synergy, resilience, and resource efficiency. Drawing on engaged scholarship, we demonstrate how outcome-driven data use addresses longstanding implementation barriers by centering on virtuous cycles rather than isolated technological inputs. We propose a new management paradigm that elevates data reuse, expediting meaningful digital transformation while advancing environmental targets.
