Don Ward, Chief Executive of Constructing Excellence said, “The topic of risk management comes up in just about every conversation we have about improving performance – understanding risk, who bears or shares it, and the maturity of its management. We wanted to speak with insurers about working more closely with their sector and how that could enable a better future for both industries, and we wanted to share some of the data we have on the better predictability of delivery of projects as well as information on emerging new procurement models including insurance-backed ones. As ever, collaborative working and early involvement will be key to success.”
