How we enable the vast untapped potential to transform project delivery, to deliver benefits far beyond the original stated goals of the project.

Project delivery has vast potential in contributing to multiple economic, environmental and societal benefits, through our contributions to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. However, the project delivery profession, and wider industry as a whole, is being slow to modernise and failing to learn from experience. The construction industry and consulting models are no longer fit for purpose to tackle the challenges we face, and clients hold the levers to create the right environment, and incentives, for this transformation to happen.

We need to change how we think, and what we do. We need to lever the power of data and analytics, and collaborate and trust on a scale we haven’t seen. This is why the Environment Agency and our partners are working with behavioural psychologists to help us overcome the natural human barriers that get in the way. Because, it will expose vulnerabilities and requires courage to change how we work. As leaders in project delivery, we have a choice how we lead, in these last remaining years we have to make the best difference we can. Choose wisely.
