Currently, the TCN+ stakeholders are in the process of articulating their findings, and plan to share their observations with the business community over the next six months.
We’re interested now in doing new and better things.We’re starting to ask different questions.
How do we drive better performance?How do we increase value and deliver those broader outcomes?How do we work with industry, academia and the business community to deliver results?.
For all the terrible destruction COVID-19 has caused, perhaps the silver lining has been its role as a catalyst for a more rapid pace of change.The government messaging is Build Back Better, incorporating a greener and faster element.
We’re recognising the need for better outcomes, supporting things like levelling up the economy, delivering greater social value and driving a path to net-zero carbon emissions.
It’s an encouraging shift, because we won’t achieve these goals simply by taking the lowest price, transferring risks down the supply chain, and using arcane procurement practices.As design becomes an increasingly automated activity, our role has been to develop a robust framework that focuses on organising the creative steps in the overall design process that are not easy to automate.
These are the steps that require human judgment and interaction with stakeholders.. Design to Value – building on combined strengths.We call this method ‘Design to Value ’.
It focuses on the objectives of our clients and all stakeholders, and combines their expertise in their products or service, with our expertise in design, engineering, modern methods of construction, manufacturing and digital construction technology We use this combined expertise to drive value into the design process..Although this might sound obvious, it’s a long way from what actually happens in a lot of situations, which aren’t Design to Value led.
