SUMMARY:Digital Construction Theme Group
DESCRIPTION:The Digital Construction Theme Group previously identified a knowledge gap for robust case studies that clearly demonstrate the benefits of digital construction. Case Studies in the past have lacked rigour in applied statistical methods and suffered from poor quality of data. This meant that the derived findings were only partially meaningful and associated actions only moderately effective in improving the construction industry. The BRE Trust is now funding a Digital Construction Case Study project jointly delivered by Constructing Excellence and the BRE BIM team that seeks to establish what really drives project success to inform industry change initiatives based on evidence rather than anecdote. \nProject manager Thomas Lindner from the BRE BIM team will present the progress so far and future plans as it moves into delivery phase. This will give the Constructing Excellence Digital Construction Theme Group a chance to provide feedback as a key stakeholder in the process. \nAs always those attending the meeting can also attend the excellent thinkBIM half day conference in the afternoon. \nPlease email colm.quinn@constructingexcellence.org.uk

SUMMARY:Members Forum -  Organisational Resilience - Are we built on a house of cards?
DESCRIPTION:March saw the launch of two significant outputs for Constructing Excellence: The Prospectus on Insurance Backed Alliancing and Organisational Resilience – Are we built on a house of cards? We will be examining these in detail at our members forum on 16 May. \nWe will look in detail at Organisational Resilience in the UK Construction Industry\, authored by Project 5. A particularly significant given some of the current issues affecting the industry. The report’s purpose – to provide an overview of how resilient the industry is in relation to a range of internal and external factors – explores the role of organisational resilience in enabling construction companies to adapt to changing conditions. It addresses the evidence of failure\, posits why they fail\, considers the issues\, areas of risk\, and proposes how to build resilience and the benefits therein of doing so for the individual companies and the sector as a whole. We will take time to consider what Constructing Excellence and its members can do to address these issues and deliver a stronger\, more resilient industry. \nOutline agenda \n1.00 Welcome & Introductions\n1.30 Organisational Resilience – Overview\, Tim Whitehill\, Project 5\n2.20 Roundtable discussions – how can Constructing Excellence help improve organisational resilience\n3.30 Coffee\n3.45 What can Constructing Excellence do to support resilience in the UK construction industry?\n4.45 Next steps and close? \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Members Forum - Performance Measurement Forum: Delivering value through performance measurement
DESCRIPTION:For 20 years Constructing Excellence has been the go-to place for what and how to benchmark since the construction industry KPIs were launched\, wallcharts and an annual industry performance report were published\, and masterclasses were run. \nAround 2004 we worked with Salford University to make available an online portal for collecting\, analysing and reporting KPIs to enable people to measure and compare their own performance on the basis of ‘apples with apples’\, as a basis for prioritising improvements. \nWe have now launched a major upgrade to that portal\, our new SmartSite KPIs tool. This has been developed in collaboration with BRE under the strategic direction of our cross-industry membership. It is a critical tool for comparing any project or portfolio with a) others in peer group\, b) CE members c) national performance\, d) other sectors\, e) international performance. \nOur national members have privileged access to the tool\, as well as the ability to influence the future direction of this critical stream of our work through our new Performance Measurement Forum. The Performance Measurement Forum will review the current core set of KPIs in the context of right measures for the Construction Sector Deal\, productivity\, social value\, and demonstrating the benefits and business case from transformational approaches such as offsite\, BIM. \nView the agenda and book your place here

SUMMARY:Generation for Tech - Better\, Faster\, Stronger
DESCRIPTION:Technology is changing the built environment forever. Modernising the way we design\, make decisions and interact with one another will lead to a smarter\, more efficient and collaborative construction industry. Or will it? \nThe Generation for Change (G4C) has the potential to fast-track the way we interact with tech.  Join us to explore how the younger generation is using it to make our industry better\, faster\, stronger.  Learn about the pitfalls and the potential and provide your perspective. \nMore details to follow.

SUMMARY:Procuring for Value – Stakeholder Mapping
DESCRIPTION:At the Constructing Excellence Procurement Group Meeting on 19 March there was considerable debate on the blockers and potential solutions to procuring for value. The following 3 areas were identified as the key enablers: \n\nValue based procurement (behaviours) – removing cost as a main driver\nGiving industry momentum\, voice and backing\nRobust metrics in a standardised framework\n\nTo move this forward there is a need to understand the ‘who’. Who are the key leaders? Who is empowered to change this? Who are the influencers? Who are the funders? Who are the blockers? \nThis will be the focus for the workshop on 21 June\, to help understand who is working in this area\, who we need to collaborate with and how we can engage key stakeholders.
