Thanks to the Offsite Alliance for inviting me to be part of a panel at UK Construction Week - it was great to share a stage with Emily King, Trudi Sully, Richard Green and Dan Macpherson MRICS. Our session was called "Falling down, rising up: confronting market risks in construction." An enjoyable chat, we covered a broad range of topics including: - how businesses can break the bad news cycle and build a positive #reputation - the limitations of #collaboration if people are too protective (of data, IP, methodology, etc) - the opportunities for #construction businesses to reposition and take a lead on issues now, rather than waiting for a general election - the dangers of relying on a published pipeline - great examples of #innovation happening in the sector (and how these are helping businesses address challenges including skills shortages, tight margins, quality control, building safety and more). Thanks to Ele George for the photo too! #UKCW

Construction Leadership Forum (CLF) launches Transformation Action Plan for the Scottish construction sector. The Plan includes visions for reforming construction procurement, improving quality, moving towards net zero and fair work, increasing the uptake of digital technology, and collating and using meaningful data. It also outlines proposals to engage with and communicate more effectively with the sector. It aims to deliver the commitments at the heart of the CLF’s Scottish Construction Accord, launched in October 2022 as a shared vision between the industry and the public sector to create a thriving and high-performing construction sector. Speaking at the Plan’s launch at Edinburgh Napier University, Richard Lochhead, Minister for Small Business, Innovation, Tourism and Trade, said: “The construction sector is vital to green, economic growth across Scotland and central to our net zero ambitions. This Transformation Action Plan will drive progress in important areas such as fair work and procurement, delivering the sustainable, innovative and prosperous industry Scotland needs.” Peter Reekie, Chief Executive of the Scottish Futures Trust and Co-chair of the Transformation Action Plan Board, says: “For the sector to deliver more, with improved outcomes for businesses, its workforce, its clients and wider society, it must change. And every part of the industry must be involved in that change, feeling the benefits from it. That is why the Transformation Action Plan is a collaborative effort, bringing passionate people from across the sector together to work for our collective good.” Morag Angus MA Hons Dip LS FRICS, Head of Property and Construction and Chief Surveyor at The Scottish Government, and Co-chair of the Transformation Action Plan Board, adds: “We have listened closely to voices from across the public and private sectors to ensure our Plan accurately reflects the needs of our whole industry. Construction is a lynchpin in Scotland’s economy and is at the forefront of our journey to net zero, which is reflected in the ambitious goals that we have set out.” https://lnkd.in/e_6EwFT4 #construction #constructionindustry #scotland #transformation #actionplan #reform #procurement #netzero #digitaltechnology #fairwork #data #publicsector #privatesector #collaboration
