Over the last few months, the construction and infrastructure industry has seen sweeping changes in response to COVID-19. Today, Leo Quinn, Balfour Beatty’s Group Chief Executive, publishes Balfour Beatty’s latest thought paper on what can be learnt from lockdown.
The paper, titled “Seizing the day: positive change from lockdown for the construction and infrastructure industry”, explores how the changes made in recent months have allowed the industry to adapt with agility and question old habits, and how this mindset will be the positive legacy left by lockdown.
The paper outlines nine recommendations on how the COVID-19 crisis can provide the industry with a platform to accelerate change in key areas such as skills, digitalisation, sustainability and changes to commissioning priorities which will ultimately allow the industry to flourish and thrive post-lockdown.
