Industry Showcase keynote speakers

The Centre for Systems Engineering and Innovation are very pleased to announce our two keynote speaker for our upcoming Industry Showcase event. Friday 7th September 2018.

Keynote 1 - Transforming Construction. Dr David Hancock, Construction Director, Infrastructure and Projects Authority

Keynote 2 - Lessons from Grenfell, Dame Judith Hackitt, Author of Hackitt Review: Building a Safer Future May 2018, Independent Review of Building Regulations and Fire Safety 

The aim of the event is to understand how we cope with infrastructure interdependencies to simplify as much as possible a complex process and often clouded accountabilities to drive reliability, efficiency, productivity and sustainability in the design delivery and operation? The focus for the conversations about our recent and ongoing research will be informed by challenges of infrastructure in London, where researchers across the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering are working with major projects such as Crossrail and Tideway, involved in transforming construction, taking lessons from the Grenfell Disaster, and working with business and policy leaders to change business models.
