Overview
‘Digital’ is becoming part of everything we do, so this group is all about the network – connecting and coordinating the various digital activities and initiatives across the workstreams. This group will work with both the ‘horizontals’ and the ‘verticals’ in the CLC structure to assist the workstreams in their own Digital Transformation. The approach will be supportive, not directive, and will be based on:
- Leadership and strategy – identifying digital leaders and developing appropriate digital transformation strategies
- Baselining and benchmarking – understanding the ‘starting point’ and being clear on progress
- Connecting and sharing – identifying good practice and sharing it across the workstreams and the wider industry
The group will create a support network to connect and coordinate the digital activities in the workstreams, and this will include the Digital Leads Network and a Digital Advisory Group to contribute advice and positive challenge.
Objectives
To connect and coordinate the digital activities and initiatives across all the workstreams.
To facilitate and accelerate Digital Transformation in the UK’s built environment in order to improve performance and outcomes.
