Supply chain input: Creating a joint plan of priorities and improvements
Join this interactive session designed to align thinking across the supply chain and collaboratively identify where the greatest value can be unlocked.
- How can we accelerate design processes and drive efficiency between clients and the full supply chain?
- How can digital tools and collaboration platforms be better leveraged to accelerate design cycles and improve coordination between clients, contractors, and the wider supply chain?
- What asset management and lifecycle considerations should be embedded from the outset of design to ensure long-term value, reliability, and maintainability of infrastructure?
- How do we streamline assurance and approvals in the design phase without compromising quality, safety, or regulatory compliance — especially where client-controlled gateways dominate the process?
- What practical steps can we take to remove friction in design handovers between phases (concept, detailed design, construction), ensuring digital continuity and minimal rework?
-
Supply chain input: Using data to enable sustainable decision making at the design phase
Join this interactive session to share your thoughts and experiences on how to minimise the environmental impact from the design phase of major infrastructure delivery. Your insights will help shape what data clients are using in the design process to take a nature first approach and reduce impact to local nature and communities.
- How can we leverage data and collaboration tools to be decisive in sustainable design decision making?
- How can supply chain partners contribute earlier and more effectively to nature-first design thinking?
- What types of environmental or community data should be prioritised when designing infrastructure in sensitive areas?
- What are the most effective ways to measure and monitor environmental impact across both the design and operational phases?
-
How will IM4Power and the industry charter feed into T3 delivery?
-
What is being done to connect the dots between the digital teams and wider delivery teams?
