Collaboration is Key
Our industry has suffered from a severe lack of leadership, when it comes to collaborative engagement. We have relied on governments to try and drive ambition and innovation, as we lose significant investment from the manufacturing sector. Yet when we take this challenge on ourselves, we also wonder why things aren't improving either, as we head back to our silo thinking, and every day business as usual behaviours. This is the status quo.
Industry History
Learning from the Past
The last time we entered into collaborative programmes of innovative thinking, we unfortunately let them slip. These programmes of momentous industry efforts, were heading in the right direction for 'rethinking construction' (innovation practice) and 'building the team' (collaborative engagement), which ultimately led to the report of how to 'accelerate change'.
We at Ottersbrook, think we should be reviewing where we left off with these exceptional industry efforts and reports. Here is a good reason why, for an example, in the domestic housing market.
A Fundamental Shift
Delivering the homes the UK needs requires a fundamental shift towards smarter, more integrated delivery models. By learning from the automotive and other specialist DfMA sectors and leveraging the lessons of the OSHA project, policymakers can drive innovation, efficiency, and quality in housing
Our Industry will thrive, when we significantly improve the collaboration, between innovative
manufacturing businesses, and construction companies who remain, expert project managers.
