The root of project dispute is usually a lack of common understanding about the why, the what, and the how related to a project.Why the project is being built, what needs to be designed and constructed, and how this will be accomplished.
If we begin to dig deeper at this root and help stakeholders to work together differently to make sure they have this common understanding, we will not only improve the way projects are delivered but also the way people feel about their experience working on a project.. 2.
Design the business case first to avoid missing ways to discover what value looks like.I quickly transitioned to a forerunner of the Infrastructure and Projects Authority where I spent nine years in central government before taking on my current role as Programme Director for the Construction Innovation Hub, with the aim of delivering the Construction Sector Deal.
I’ve worked through three different governments - Labour, Coalition and Conservative - but through them all there has been an increasing focus on the importance of infrastructure and transforming construction.. One thing I’ve noticed through this period is that we tend to think of ourselves in the engineering community as being innovators.We think we're quite good at working out what needs doing, but actually, the real skill, and one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned during my time in government, is that working out what to do can be quite easy.
It's working out how to get it done that becomes hard.. At present, our focus is on transforming construction into a more future-facing sector.We need to ask important questions about how to make it more inclusive and representative of the society it serves.. To begin, it’s essential to recognise that we can’t achieve our goals working in isolation.
