Sully says that the key element we’ve been missing in construction is the ethos of collaboration and innovation found in other industries.

We used to block units of operations out in bright colours, using pink to designate an area that was only loosely defined..It means a culture of inclusivity; anybody can have an idea, in fact, those not constrained by having been involved in a subject for many years, often ask the best questions and come up with more innovative ideas.

Matching this creativity with open-minded expert knowledge can be very powerful..Above all it means jointly resisting, as long as is responsibly possible, narrowing to a defined solution and only then when it is very clear it matches up to the fundamental purpose and the highest aspirations.In the discomfort of this process, new ideas will shoot and grow..

Professor John Dyson spent more than 25 years at GlaxoSmithKline, eventually ending his career as VP, Head of Capital Strategy and Design, where he focussed on developing a long-term strategic approach to asset management..While there, he engaged Bryden Wood and together they developed the Front End Factory, a collaborative endeavour to explore how to turn purpose and strategy into the right projects – which paved the way for Design to Value.

He is committed to the betterment of lives through individual and collective endeavours.. As well as his business and pharmaceutical experience, Dyson is Professor of Human Enterprise at the University of Birmingham, focussing on project management, business strategy and collaboration.. Additionally, he is a qualified counsellor with a private practice and looks to bring the understanding of human behaviour into business and projects..

The construction industry initially embraced volumetric modular construction as a solution to flatline productivity and inefficiency.However, the logistical, cost, and carbon impact concerns led to the development of a platform approach.

This approach, exemplified by Platform II, leverages the benefits of manufacturing at the component level while achieving manufacturing-like productivity on-site.It allows for fast, accurate, low-carbon frames, and efficient MEP design and installation, addressing previous concerns while enhancing efficiency and sustainability.. 2.
