Generation4Change Tees Valley in association with Teesside University and delighted to be holding an event looking at Social Media and Networking.

Networking is the lifeblood of business large and small as it is vital to have strong supply chains and reliable contacts that can provide you with key market information as well as advice and support.

But networking can be a daunting prospect – especially if you are new to it.

Meryl Levington will give a short guide on how to make the most of opportunities around you and how to spot which networks on and offline need to be part of and which you can ditch.

Modern technologies will be the cornerstone of construction sector reform to increase productivity, efficiency and quality of delivery.

Join the Construction Industry Training Board, Constructing Excellence in the North East and Generation for Change to hear about the opportunities and challenges of digital construction technologies. Speakers will include CITB, BIM Strategy, Kier and Space.

• Increase your awareness of digital construction techniques.
• Find out about future digital construction technologies.
• Understand the implications for construction skills and training.
• Find out about funding available to digitally upskill your workforce.

The event will be followed by a networking drinks reception.

Design and Build is coming under increasing pressure.  It has been questioned in terms of how it creates rather than transfers risk, the quality of the housing and infrastructure it delivers and the construction sector culture it creates.  In addition, the construction sector has some very significant structural issues, not least productivity.  Bringing construction productivity up to the national average would deliver an extra £15bn of value each year.

But what is the alternative, how does this change?  The Construction Leadership Council are proposingProcuring for Value, and are creating a methodology to underpin this work.  Procuring for Value brings together clients, suppliers, assets and procurement in a structure that focusses on outcomes over the long term.  This is seen as critical carrier for change; by creating the space for innovation and productivity, investment in capacity and quality becomes a significantly more sensible and secure proposition for industry.  This in turn means quality and performance for clients – if they are prepared to step outside business as usual…

Ann Bentley, Global Director, RLB, and Procuring for Value lead, Construction Leadership Council
