New guide to help boost productivity
A new guide providing practical advice for boosting productivity across the infrastructure lifecycle, has been published by the ICE.
Infrastructure: New productivity guide
Driving Productivity: Infrastructure Lifecycle Guidance is an online publication which builds on the Institution’s State of the Nation 2022: Improving Infrastructure Productivity report.
State of the Nation 2022 explored possible interventions that could increase the efficiency and performance of assets at each stage of the infrastructure lifecycle.
The guidance gives simple advice about actions that can be taken to improve productivity.
ICE driving productivity community advisory board co-chair Andy Alder said: “We want this to be a guide that is easy to use and that can be easily updated as new tools and guidance become available. We have therefore chosen a format that serves more as a signpost to further information rather than an attempt to recreate it.”
The guide is organised by lifecycle phase. It identifies opportunities for increased productivity for clients, operators, asset owners and designers.
