September Event - Never Waste a Good Crisis!

A talk by Don Ward
Chief Executive, Constructing Excellence

"A case for collaborative working with lean and efficient methods
as the best chance to thrive in tough times"


Tuesday 14 September 2010, 1800 for 1830 start
London Capital Club, 15 Abchurch Lane, London EC4N 7BW

We welcome Don Ward who will speak about the future of collaborative working. Drawing on the recent report “Never Waste a Good Crisis”, he will contrast ten years of progress in the industry with recent developments fuelled by the recession. This includes publicity surrounding a small number of high-profile clients, who have been reported as opting to “ditch frameworks” in favour of more competitive tendering. He will give a strong case for collaborative working and lean/efficient methods as the best chance to thrive in the tough times ahead.

Don is Chief Executive of Constructing Excellences, the main membership-led industry improvement body in the UK. He specialises in industry change, supply chain integration and collaborative working. He has over twenty years experience of best practice and change programmes. Don is one of the leading figures in the UK construction industry “reform movement”. Previous roles include Chief Executive of the Design Build Foundation and a five year stint as Chief Executive of the Construction Industry Board, which was set up to implement the 1994 “Latham Report”. His first ten years were spent at the Building Research Establishment working on low energy buildings.
