CLC Publishes Report to Develop Organisational Capabilities For a Modernised Construction Industry

As construction responds to the ambition to deliver enhanced growth across the sector, building organisational capabilities to deliver more integrated and manufacturing-led approaches will be critical for enabling improvements in productivity and predictability across the industry. To do this safely, sustainably and to the required quality, organisations of all sizes from across the sector should invest in developing the capabilities needed to work in more coordinated and productive ways.

The Construction Leadership Council’s People & Skills Network today released the Building Capability to Deliver Growth report. The report was developed including contribution from the University of Cambridge, and chaired by Laing O’Rourke’s Group Commercial and Clients & Markets Director, John O’Connor.

The report finds that realising the opportunities of industrialised construction will be reliant upon:

• Development of transferable competencies to support new ways of working
• Early engagement and collaboration across clients, designers, contractors,
  manufacturers and the wider supply chain
• Enabling procurement and contractual approaches that support collaboration and
  supply-chain integration
• Stronger logistics planning
• Greater use of digital and data-enabled coordination

To support practical action, the report proposes a capability maturity roadmap that aims to allow organisations to assess their current position, identify capability gaps, and explore how they can progress from awareness and experimentation towards integrated, data-driven industrialised delivery.
