He is passionate about leading change across the industry, recognising the need to improve performance through data and technology driven collaboration. Which is why Richard is introducing the new Information Management Initiative (IMI).
Richard will tell us why the Construction Leadership Council feels, and why he personally agrees, that now is the time for industry to lead the way in getting better at managing our data and information.
He will explain what he sees is the compelling need for change, the main players who are making change happen, and the need wider support.
Following Richard, Dr Anne Kemp OBE, Chair of nima, will then describe what the IMI is and how you can get involved.
