Disruption 2030 Series: Meeting the Construction Playbook and Roadmap to 2030 Vision

The ‘Disruption 2030’ webinar series is a new, high-level set of online events which explores how the built environment ecosystem can benefit from making The Construction Playbook and the IPA’s Transforming Infrastructure Performance: Roadmap to 2030 ambitions become a reality.
Together, these publications outline which disruptive technologies the UK government is driving the industry towards. With this vision laid out, the market must now upskill and transform to deploy these technologies on public sector projects, as well as the private sector contracts that will follow suit.

In this edition, construction leaders and policy influencers provide critical insight and best in class examples of success for how clients, designers and contractors are transforming their processes and organisations to become Playbook and Roadmap compliant.

By attending, you will develop your understanding of the Government-backed technology adoption expectations for supply chain members that intend to win work on public sector projects.

Some of the topics our panel will address include:

• Setting out the Government’s vision
• An overview on what businesses must do to meet that vision
• Examples of success drawn from organisations that are leading the way
• Industry-wide ramifications from clients down through the supply chain
