If done with thoughtfulness they could help lubricate and develop the thinking, rather than creating disruptive re-work.The difference between iteration and re-work needed to be understood..This was not a highly detailed schedule, to try and develop that would have been counterproductive.

I believe it presents a way to plan and progress design within the complex area of new-technology-realisation which requires thinking beyond our traditional approaches of design-stages led by deliverables..If we wanted to not only preserve the value identified in an innovative concept and technology but to enhance it, we needed to change the way we approach basic/scheme and detailed design..

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..

Although it’s widely recognised that there aren’t enough women and minorities joining construction, Professor Glass says this important issue has been noted and there are people trying to rectify this situation.She also believes academics and researchers could generate enthusiasm by sharing what attracted them to this stimulating, fascinating space, and discussing what motivates them to stay.. We also need to take stock of what competencies are needed in the construction industry, and acknowledge that digital skills must be made a priority.
