The answer would likely again be, ‘Well, because that’s what the book says’.
He is committed to the betterment of lives through individual and collective endeavours.. As well as his business and pharmaceutical experience, Dyson is Professor of Human Enterprise at the University of Birmingham, focussing on project management, business strategy and collaboration.. Additionally, he is a qualified counsellor with a private practice and looks to bring the understanding of human behaviour into business and projects.. To learn more about our Design to Value philosophy, read Design to Value: The architecture of holistic design and creative technology by Professor John Dyson, Mark Bryden, Jaimie Johnston MBE and Martin Wood.Available to purchase at.In my last blog, I explored how innovative, value-driven conceptual design can be shepherded through basic / scheme design.
I believe that submitting a project to a sausage-machine-design approach at any point will allow much of the value to be lost or worse.The question is how you can move into detailed design, construction and beyond while firmly keeping hold of that conceptual value..Integrated Project Delivery (IPD).
Integrated Project Delivery is not a new idea and there are many flavours of it available in the world of infrastructure, some with more demonstrated success than others.There is a lot of evidence that well-implemented IPD has significant benefits in project management terms i.e.
projects get delivered more reliably to scope, cost and time.
While this is an important measure the big prize is in securing the delivery to a wider set of value drivers.. Never a fan of extolling a particular flavour or brand of approach, I am much more interested in the ingredients and the principles of any approach.Raised access floors will also ideally be sealed or removed to minimise future sources of contamination.
For the lab fit-out itself, appropriate finishes must of course be selected, and this will be based on a wide-range of criteria such as cleaning material compatibility.. 10.Defects.. Hidden defects in existing office buildings can add unexpected cost and delay to lab conversion projects..
Existing offices, like all buildings, will almost always harbour some latent issues that will add complication during design or construction.This can range from old plant in need of an upgrade, to asbestos or structural defects.
