The ongoing skills shortage is an issue that is widespread and impacting every discipline, especially in the delivery of construction and infrastructure projects across the UK. Many of the contributing factors are outside of the control of project professionals, (such as an ageing workforce with few new entrants) though significant efforts are being put forward […]
A Rail Forum event: ‘Collaboration’ has become a bit of a buzzword in rail in recent times. But what does it mean for the supply chain, why is it important and how can we ensure it works for everyone? Collaboration can take many forms – from establishing a formal joint venture (JV) company to a […]
The Construction Playbook, published back in 2020, set the tone for how we can transform the productivity of the sector by changing the way that major projects and programmes are assessed, procured, and delivered. Taking their cue from the report, private sector organisations have since come together to develop ‘Trust and Productivity – The Private […]
The construction industry must embrace new approaches for mega projects, but the requirement is even greater when delivering giga projects. The scale of these complex programme environments offer the opportunity to experiment with new practices and ideas to tackle even more complex challenges. However, the significance of behaviours is often overlooked. We see major projects […]
Team mobilisation is often seen as a half-day activity to generate a behavioural charter that becomes a poster on the meeting room wall and is then largely ignored for the rest of the contract.

A workshop to explore the impact of leadership in delivering successful outcomes through major projects, specifically through the role of clients and delivery team leaders. This interactive session will interrogate our beliefs around project leadership, and encourage us to challenge the assumption that collaboration is always the answer. This workshop will explore the expectations placed […]
In addition to being the Chief Executive of ResoLex, Edward Moore is the Chairman of Concordis International, a peacebuilding charity. Concordis uses a dialogue approach to support the development of sustainable relationships amongst communities involved in or affected by armed conflict. At first light, this may seem rather unconnected to the development of collaborative relationships […]
The ethos behind ‘Team of Teams’ (ToTs) comes from the clarity of desired outcomes and the empowerment to make local decisions to best achieve these outcomes. ToTs has become a more common term following the popular book ‘Team of Teams: New Rules of Engagement for a Complex World by Stanley McChrystal’ and ‘One Mission: How […]
