#37 Solving the Productivity Puzzle
Historically, the nation’s productivity has improved with economic
growth, but since the global financial crisis and despite the UK’s recovery,
productivity has flatlined. The Office for National Statistics calls this “The
productivity puzzle” and for construction the situation is even worse.
Productivity has floundered since the 1990s. But as big data continues to drive
the fourth industrial revolution, construction is now taking much needed steps
forward.
Solving the productivity puzzle then requires digital
transformation, collaboration, new business models, and better training and
development. In this episode consultant Atkins brought contractors, asset
owners, academics and other professionals together to explore how
transformation in the sector should move forward.
This episode was created in partnership with consultant Atkins,
recorded at the Transforming the Consultancy Sector event in London
