Main Stage

From a fragmented industry to a connected ecosystem: how Causeway drives transformation in construction

How can technology deliver on its promise to bring simplicity and productivity in construction? Today’s fragmented approach to managing data, people, finances, supply chains and projects doesn’t solve for the realities that front and back-office teams face in their day-to-day. From the design phase to commercial, operational and maintenance management, contractors and supply chains are enduring a multitude of efficiency papercuts, hindering productivity, skyrocketing project costs, and driving already razor thin margins down. Join us as we take you on a journey where we uncover how the construction ecosystem can achieve pragmatic, meaningful marginal gains at each point of the construction lifecycle.

Learning points:

Addressing Fragmentation with Technology: Attendees will learn how technology can address the fragmented approach to managing various aspects of construction projects, including data, people, finances, supply chains, and project management. Understanding how technology can streamline processes and integrate disparate systems is crucial for simplifying operations and improving productivity.|Identifying Efficiency Papercuts: Highlighting the inefficiencies plaguing the construction industry, from the design phase to commercial, operational, and maintenance management. Attendees will gain insights into the everyday challenges faced by front and back-office teams, such as productivity hurdles, escalating project costs, and narrowing profit margins. Recognising these “efficiency papercuts” is essential for implementing targeted solutions.|Achieving Marginal Gains Across Lifecycle: Attendees will be guided through a journey of achieving pragmatic, meaningful marginal gains at each stage of the construction lifecycle. By understanding where incremental improvements can be made, attendees will learn how the construction ecosystem can enhance efficiency and productivity. Emphasising these marginal gains is crucial for driving overall improvement and success in construction projects.
