Jacqui has been involved in construction transformation for over 20 years, particularly focusing on off-site construction.

These different measures of value need to be expressed not so narrowly as purely financial e.g.margin and profit; but expansively including kudos and marketing from the work, with larger social and environmental impacts important to each organisation and the wellbeing, growth and development of the people involved.. Providing such a web of value interconnects and energises the whole project community into the generation of shared value..

In the words of Michael Porter.“Shared value is fundamentally about aligning the success of your company with the success of your community — through the recognition that you have a responsibility — and an economic opportunity — to improve the business environment and the fundamental health of the supporting community structure.”.As value is realised conceptually, cornerstones of the design, delivery approach and culture need to be established.

These ecosystem-conditions, design-features, delivery and operational principles; along with construction approaches, e.g.DfMA, will represent the decisions required to hold onto and deliver the value.. Somebody.

needs to watch these carefully.. That does not mean that they will not or cannot be changed, it does mean that any shifting of the cornerstones is picked up quickly and holistic problem solving is kicked-off to retain or increase the value.

Project management is often focused on physical scope change and can be blind to shifts in approach and people dynamics which can have profound impacts..If we begin to dig deeper at this root and help stakeholders to work together differently to make sure they have this common understanding, we will not only improve the way projects are delivered but also the way people feel about their experience working on a project.. 2.

Design the business case first to avoid missing ways to discover what value looks like.The industry is reinventing how design and construction happen but to do this all parties must be involved as early as possible in the project, ideally when the client is beginning to conceive the business problem they must solve.

The first place to start innovation is around the definition of customer value and the range of options that might exist to help a client achieve that value.. 3.Working standards and efficiency are paramount.
