Last week our colleagues in Delhi got together to celebrate Diwali, the Festival of Lights that centres around spiritual themes of the victory of good over evil, and light over darkness.   They decorated the office in vibrant colours, dressed for the occasion in traditional clothing and enjoyed a meal together at the Delhi Club House.   We wish a happy Diwali to all our colleagues and clients!   #Diwali #India #wearesteer

Airport Consultants Council 46th Annual Meeting. I'm very appreciative for getting an invite to speak to the ACC Annual Meeting. In addition to the great engagement on our State of Industry panel (with thanks to Roddy and Bill), I think we all benefitted from an excellent educational program and learning about several other important matters. 1. Procurement: we all are having issues with contract terms on indemnities, insurance requirements and liabilities. Good suggestions about tactics for primes and subs on how to deal with these proposed contracts; ACC is a great forum to share how we can respond as an industry to policies that are the foundation for these draft contracts. Alliances with groups like #ACEC make sense and are likely to be more productive than going in alone. 2. Workforce: simply great discussions on young professionals, women in the industry and succession planning. I think the discussions and material provided help understand leadership perspectives as well as providing a guide to those beginning and continuing their careers in our industry. 3. A wider lens on the aviation industry: I was struck by how much yearning there is among many to understand the strategic characteristics of the aviation and airport industries -- not just their individual projects. This is a great opportunity for companies to build their own education and development strategies and prepare their employees for future leadership positions. 4. A great panel on consolidation and developments in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction space, especially for someone like me that works with AEC companies in partnership on P3s and airport capital projects. Kudos to TJ, the staff and the board members that put together an excellent couple of days. #ACCEvents #ACC46 #Aviation #AirportDevelopment

With the autumn budget incoming the Government’s election promise to ‘Get Britain Building’ will be on many minds. The headline-grabbing promise to build the next generation of New Towns featured highly in Labour’s campaign as a solution to the UK’s entrenched housing crisis. Here, Steer Associate Director Victoria Rees looks back at the original post-war New Towns and examines their successes, limitations and what we can learn for the future. https://lnkd.in/eGbsfQKF #newtowns #Labour #housing #wearesteer

The advance of technology pervades our lives. From breaking new boundaries in exploration of space, the seas and our internal organs, to improving the convenience and safety of everyday chores. It's good every now and then to standback and consider "what's happening now", "what if?" and "how might?". Over the last six weeks Steer colleagues have been posting what technology might mean for the mainsteam but vital domain of our highways. These vital arteries are not static and impervious but rather places where technology will change demand, capacity, costs, outputs and capital value. Four "Highway to the Future" articles therefore explore: 1. Technology revolutionizing the way we drive 2. Forecasting the impact of Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) 3. The economic potential of autonomous vehicles 4. The penetration of Electric Vehicles in the US market Links to the articles below in the comments! #highways #infrastructure #technology

Had an incredible time at the Commuter Rail Coalition Summit this year in Boston! It’s amazing to see how much this group has accomplished in such a short time—creating a space where commuter, regional, and intercity rail operators can connect, share insights, and learn from one another.   We also had the chance to unwind with some fun events like the Cape Cod Central Railroad train ride and the Spirit of Boston dinner cruise and awards banquet! A huge thank you to CRC and MBTA for being such great hosts, and to my Steer Boston colleagues for showing me a great time as we toured Boston’s impressive collection of Tatte’s :) Looking forward to next year’s summit back here in Souther California with Metrolink!
