The drive for better Value

摘要

"The impacts we have are way more important than the things that we build." Like many of her fellow panellists, Morgan Sindall director Louise Townsend's position was clear: attitudes to what we mean by 'value' needed to change. She was speaking at a debate during November's CN Summit, where a pan-industry group of experts gathered to discuss how the concept of value is transforming - and how companies needed to adapt to this new-look landscape. Kicking off a lively debate, held in association with Aecom, Construction News editor Tom Fitzpatrick asked the panel what had changed in 2018. There was agreement around the table that the old 'three Es' definition -based around effectiveness, efficiency and economy -was increasingly irrelevant.
