The next questions are, how will this be achieved? It will not happen overnight and requires a shift in mindset from both clients and suppliers. Clients need to be willing to adopt more dynamic and integrated approaches. Suppliers need to be willing to operate as stewards, focusing on long-term value and sustainability, putting the needs of the programme before their own.
Technology will also play a critical role. Data analytics, artificial intelligence and other technologies can help to identify and track resource needs, optimise allocation, and measure the impact of different deployment strategies. However, technology cannot replace the need for expert guidance and advice. This means using technology as an enabler, rather than a replacement.
This approach will require collaboration and trust between clients and suppliers. Once achieved, it will create a more efficient, effective, and sustainable model for infrastructure delivery.
We invite you to join us in rethinking infrastructure delivery. By working together, we can create a new approach with creates successful programmes, unlocking the full potential of infrastructure investment and building a better future for all.
Strategic planning: A top-down approach that brings together stakeholder considerations, maps and tests critical milestones and strategic outcomes, and recognises the programme as a lifecycle. This enables proactive planning, scenario analysis, and better alignment with programme goals
Integrated decision-making: A collaborative process that breaks down silos, ensures all relevant information is considered, and involves stakeholders in the decision-making process. This leads to better outcomes, reduced risk, and improved stakeholder alignment
Dynamic resource deployment: A flexible approach that allocates resources based on real-time needs and changing priorities. This ensures that resources are focused on the most critical tasks and activities, maximising efficiency, effectiveness, and value for money
