SUMMARY:Drones in Construction
DESCRIPTION:UAV’s –commonly called Drones are already providing positive contributions to the construction industry.  But there are still major obstacles to the wide spread adoption of the technology and even some potential setbacks if these are not overcome.\nAs part of the Co-Creation Program in partnership with Digital Construction week:  This important workshop will provide the foundation to developing the core foundations of a working committee to promote and deliver solutions to overcome barriers to Drone usage in the construction Industry.\nThrough a structured Open-innovation workshop – participants will share knowledge and experience to identify barriers to Drone usage. We are looking for passionate and skilled individuals to engage\, shake up\, challenge and revisit the status quo.\nThe group will then bounce ideas around to formulate a vision of the future that eradicates the most pressing barriers to Drone usage in construction.\nCreating the building blocks of a plan to develop the Industry Innovation Management program of the future.  The workshop’s outcomes will be presented at Digital Construction Week.  You will receive a summary of the workshop and the next steps that are to be undertaken.\nBenefits of Attending  \n\n\nShared experiences and solutions  \n\n\nGain a wider understanding of Drones across the whole construction Environment \n\n\nInfluence the Construction industry’s thinking on Drones   \n\n\nNetwork with Peers  \n\n\nBe considered for the COMIT working committee  \n\n\nThis workshop has already attracted a lot of enquires.

SUMMARY:The future of benchmarking and data in the construction industry
DESCRIPTION:You will be aware of Constructing Excellence’s track record on benchmarking stretching back nearly 20 years to the establishment of the Construction Industry KPIs. Under the new vision to be set out by our new co-Chairmanship we will have a fresh focus on making Constructing Excellence a platform for data driven performance improvement in the construction industry. \nWith that in mind we would now like to hold a meeting with members to discuss current and future ideas around benchmarking and data in the construction industry. This will help to inform us as we develop a new suite of benchmarking products and services with the backing of BRE. \nIf you are interested in attending please email colm.quinn@constructingexcellence.org.uk

SUMMARY:RIBA for Clients: Results of the ‘Working with Architects’ Clients Survey
DESCRIPTION:Join RIBA East at The Centre for Mathematical Sciences\, Cambridge\, at 17:30-20:15 on 28 June to hear the findings from the RIBA Client Liaison Group’s ground-breaking ‘Working with Architects’ survey and debate critical issues in the client-architect relationship. \nWhat should clients do to get the most from their architects? In a volatile\, uncertain\, complex and ambiguous world\, how can architects reassure clients? How should architects communicate the value they add? Is it important for architects to follow up post-completion? How should contractor-clients and architects work together? \nArchitect and client speakers will take quick-fire turns to sketch out what they need from each other and how they could improve their relationship for a better\, more viable\, sustainable\, resilient\, and fit-for-purpose built environment. Audience members will be invited to engage in the debate from the floor. \nNigel Ostime of Hawkins\Brown Architects and Chair of the Client Liaison Group said\, “This entertaining format is designed to get you thinking about your work practices by putting yourself in others’ shoes. Ultimately\, it is part of a bigger effort to improve effectiveness\, collaboration\, efficiency\, productivity\, and\, of course\, outcomes in the construction industry.” \nThe debate is sponsored by Ibstock in association with Constructing Excellence and organised by the RIBA Client Liaison Group\, whose market intelligence research helps architects to adapt to construction clients’ changing needs. \nRead more and book…

SUMMARY:G4C - Collaborate: Achieve More
DESCRIPTION:What does good collaboration look like? Defining the key attributes of effective collaborative working\nG4C invite you to an event\, hosted in the Shard by the Warwick Business School\, to discuss the key attributes of effective collaboration. \nDr. Mehmet Chakkol and Max Finne from Warwick Business School (WBS) will present their latest research identifying the key attributes of effective collaboration. In particular\, the presentation will focus on the psychological and behavioural underpinnings of what makes an effective collaborator. WBS Professors will also discuss the benefits and challenges of effective collaborative working in large-scale projects. The presentations will also include insights from the Institute of Collaborative Working (ICW) drawing on their experience of implementing British standard on collaboration (BS11000) which has recently been approved as an international standard (ISO44001). \nHave you worked in an alliance or joint-venture where lack of collaboration resulted in adverse working conditions? Have you experienced a buyer-supplier relationship where one party attempted to utilise their strengths to bully their counterparts into a corner? Have you worked in a project environment where managers enabled or hindered collaborative working? Or maybe you have experienced only collaborative and positive alliances and would like to tell us how your team have achieved this? \nThis discussion will help us to define how we can all be more productive and manage efficient and mutually beneficial business relationships. The event will provide a great opportunity for networking in an iconic location for any professionals interested in understanding the dynamics of collaborative working. \nGet your free ticket here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/collaborate-achieve-more-tickets-33331519472
