It addresses the evidence of failure, posits why they fail, considers the issues, areas of risk, and proposes how to build resilience and the benefits therein of doing so for the individual companies and the sector as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>Don Ward, CEO of the report\u2019s publishers, Constructing Excellence, said: \u201cThe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/carillion-collapse-investors-fled-for-the-hills\/38712\/\">collapse of Carillion<\/a> has kick-started a wide-ranging debate about the causes, including how underlying business models need to change. The report asks whether the industry is built on a house of cards, which it surely is, and the call to action for companies to assess their ability to respond to incremental changes and sudden external disruptions and to act on these findings is therefore extremely timely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report, written by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.projectfiveconsulting.co.uk\/\">Project Five Consulting<\/a>, has identified the construction industry as a key enabling sector for the wider UK economy. However, it has a higher rate of failure than the average across all industry sectors. This fragility is underpinned by structural issues that characterise the weaknesses in the industry. These are borne out by the recent collapse into liquidation of the country\u2019s second-largest construction company, Carillion.<\/p>\n<p>There are also economic, political and market uncertainties facing the sector alongside the disruptive forces of technology and increased regulation. Based on the findings, the report has identified a range of priority actions to help the industry understand and embrace approaches to organisational resilience. These include strategic actions to address the structural issues and weaknesses identified: low levels of profitability; a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/bim-news\/need-effective-supply-chain-engagement-bim\/34497\/\">fragmented supply chain<\/a>; adversarial client\/contractor\/sub-contractor relationships; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/fmbs-skills-shortage-report-highlights-worst-ever-levels\/38004\/\">skills weaknesses<\/a>; low digital maturity; low productivity.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/construction-business-activity-ends-year-uneven-recovery\/37535\/\">construction industry\u2019s lack of resilience<\/a> has been evidenced. The most recent figures from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/organisations\/insolvency-service\">Insolvency Service<\/a> (which has taken over the collection of data from the Office for National Statistics) on the total new company insolvencies in England and Wales for the year ending Q3 2016, show that there were more insolvencies in construction than in any other sector. The total was nearly 2,500.<\/p>\n<p>The construction industry\u2019s failings matter because it is one of the largest sectors \u2013 with a turnover of \u00a3370bn, contributing \u00a3138bn in value added to the UK economy and employing 3.1 million people (9% of the total UK workforce).<\/p>\n<p><em>The organisational resilience of the UK construction industry: Are we built on a house of cards?<\/em> survey provided a snapshot of some of the key risks against which organisations need to build resilience:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Disruptive competitors in the market \u2013 42%<\/li>\n<li>Macroeconomic uncertainty\/events \u2013 32%<\/li>\n<li>Political instability\/civil unrest \u2013 28%<\/li>\n<li>Reputational risk (e.g. on-site accidents, non-compliance) \u2013 27%<\/li>\n<li>Threats to information security \u2013 23%<\/li>\n<li>Corruption\/bribery \u2013 19%<\/li>\n<li>Environmental changes\/natural disasters \u2013 17%<\/li>\n<li>Increased incidence of terrorist attacks and other crime \u2013 11%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The report\u2019s priorities and recommendations include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Further research into the resilience of the industry and the characteristics which appear to make it more vulnerable to shocks and the reasons why the failure rate is higher than other industries.<\/li>\n<li>Learning the lessons that will emerge from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/carillion-collapse-accident-waiting-to-happen-says-ace-chief\/37822\/\">collapse of Carillion<\/a> and the impacts on the industry as a whole.<\/li>\n<li>Develop a more robust evidence base of the benefits to the industry of embracing approaches to organisational resilience to address concerns over the required investment.<\/li>\n<li>Develop industry-specific approaches which enable construction companies to identify and understand the external influences that threaten the sector.<\/li>\n<li>Develop approaches to support leaders in construction to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/upskilling-skills-shortage\/34567\/\"> up-skill<\/a> them and enable them to provide the strategic leadership required to drive organisational resilience, including the abilities to identify the sudden shocks and incremental changes.<\/li>\n<li>Develop industry-specific approaches to enable construction businesses to build resilience into their business plans and their business processes in line with the BSI\u2019s model and BS 65000.<\/li>\n<li>Identify the key knowledge gaps and the skills needed in relation to organisational resilience to develop a roadmap to address these shortfalls.<\/li>\n<li>Leadership from government to continue to place the strategic priorities for industry improvement in the context of the resilience of the industry, including skills and training, digitisation, procurement approaches, pipeline visibility and approaches to collaborative working led by clients.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tim Whitehill, Managing Director of the report\u2019s authors, Project Five Consulting, concluded: \u201cA resilient industry is good for clients, for the workforce, for communities and for the economy.

We\u2019re sure she\u2019d like that. With a BA in English and Journalism, Steph isn\u2019t fazed by attention to detail; on the contrary, she enjoys getting her teeth into a good article. In her downtime Steph loves nothing more than getting together with friends to enjoy a few (several) gin and tonics. Think you\u2019ve got some content Steph would be interested in?
