Capabilities

This session explores thinking on organisational capability implied by the latest Transforming Infrastructure Performance from the Infrastructure and Projects Authority.

In this interactive session we explore the concept of platform thinking and the factors necessary to drive a step change in culture and organisational capability towards platform thinking for the Built Environment. In particular, we consider the nature and direction of change needed to move away from a model of end-use design on individual projects.

Chair: Dr Vedran Zerjav, Associate Professor of Infrastructure Project Management from the Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction UCL will be joined by Nick Yandle, Head of Programmes, in the Infrastructure and Projects Authority’s (IPA) Project Futures team, William Varah, Programme Director in the IPA’s Modern Methods of Construction team. Academic contributors to this session include Dr Rehema Msulwa, Dr Juliano Denicol and Dr. Nick Marshall.
