How to forge a winning crew

摘要

How do you turn staff from four separate contractors into a team? That was the important job facing Interlink project director David Welsh if he wanted to bring the huge, eye-catching M74 scheme in early and at a profit. Fortunately, Welsh is highly experienced at pulling joint ventures together. He is a senior project director at Interlink partner Sir Robert McAlpine, and was called in to the post on the M74 because he had a vast amount of knowledge to share from his experience of being project manager or project director on eight major JV schemes around the UK. These included most of Scotland's recent major road projects: theM77 southern orbital, the M6/M74, Luss bypass at Loch Lomond, the M74 Abington to Elvanfoot and the M8/M9 connection at Newbridge.
