is our unifying approach to finding the most efficient route to the optimal solution by analysing and understanding every facet of a problem..
I see and hear stories about people doing great things with an intent of making the world a better, more sustainable place in the most holistic sense.Specifically, I have had meetings with two of the organisations I partner with: my local Watermill Theatre, which, as well as producing truly magical theatre, has an outreach scheme that touches hundreds of lives, and the World Land Trust, which is actively protecting habitat and species diversity around the world.
With both organisations, we are looking at ways to work together to magnify our individual impact..I see academics, businesses, and organisations of people focusing on the problems that face us, not just out of good intent but out of facing cold, hard realities.This is resulting in money, the fuel of the world economy, being slowly but steadily diverted from the old economy to a new one.
We are starting to invest in a changing world.Leaders and regimes will come and go, but this matrix of positive intent and action is what will truly drive the next 50 years..
The third reason for hope came to me in maybe the most unexpected place: a two-hour stand in the toilet on a train with five others, due to huge overcrowding.
Of course, there was griping, anger, and frustration about the situation.Consequently, we will be looking for added value from our manufacturers, and this will change how we think about the procurement process going forwards..
In fact, we think it’s likely the procurement process will suddenly become more akin to a model like Amazon.That is to say, payments will be instant and delivery onto site will happen automatically.
Additionally, these deliveries will be pre-coordinated with site activities and made by autonomous vehicles.This will make sure that components arrive exactly when needed and that deliveries place the least amount of stress on local infrastructure.. A for assembly in DfMA: automation in construction and fewer operatives on site.
