The WICE Awards, currently celebrating their fifth year, highlight the leading contributions being made by women within the industry.
The government messaging is Build Back Better, incorporating a greener and faster element.We’re recognising the need for better outcomes, supporting things like levelling up the economy, delivering greater social value and driving a path to net-zero carbon emissions.
It’s an encouraging shift, because we won’t achieve these goals simply by taking the lowest price, transferring risks down the supply chain, and using arcane procurement practices.We need to see this recently accelerated pace of change continue, and perhaps go even further, as the government sets out its plans to drive an economic recovery through the way it invests in construction infrastructure..The Construction Playbook - making it possible.
The Construction Playbook has been a fantastic example of how quickly it’s possible to move.Here you have people working in new circumstances, each with their own business imperatives, and yet the government was able to get the public and private sector together to create this document, to galvanise industry and achieve that level of buy-in.
This was made possible by the fact that the COVID-19 crisis has brought the industry together.
The Construction Leadership Council (CLC) and the officials in The Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) worked closely to forge a much better link between government and industry.However, at Bryden Wood, we believe the topic is actually much wider than that.
Process engineering can equally be applied to procedures with a social or service outcome.Essentially, whenever there is a desired result, there’s a process which must be implemented to achieve it.. For example, in airports, passengers must move through a system of check-in, security and boarding, before they’re able to fly.
In hospitals, patients go from a consultation to testing and diagnosis, before they receive treatment.With process engineering, what we’re really talking about is putting systems in place in order to achieve particular goals and facilitate outcomes..
