RECOMMENDATIONS
With an ultimate goal of creating long-term transformational change across such a complex and multi-faceted entity as the construction industry, it is considered useful here to build on the medical process analogy used throughout this review and compare the component parts of the following recommendations to the basic ingredients for creating a chemical 'chain reaction'. In this regard, it is worth highlighting 5 key components that would usually be necessary in such a reaction and their analogies to the recommendations made:
|
| Reactants - the key elements necessary to be part of the reaction - Integrated Tripartite Leadership across Clients, Government and Industry |
|
| Intermediate - the enabler of a reaction - A Reformed CITB |
|
| Products - the desired outcomes that arise from the reaction and which also self-perpetuate the reaction - Client & Industry Process Integration, R&D & Innovation, Skills & Training, Industry Image |
|
| Initiator - the means by which a reaction is commenced - The Role of Government in Pump Priming Change |
|
| Catalyst - a mechanism to accelerate or speed up a reaction - An Option for Accelerating Behavioural Change |
Each of these principles can then be applied in a logical manner to create an ideas framework which binds together the following set of recommendations.
