The Infrastructure Podcast: Episode 1: Major projects delivery - getting the basics right with Nick Smallwood
In this first Infrastructure Podcast we go right back to the start to talk about “project delivery - getting the basics right”. Given the UK infrastructure sector’s poor track record when it comes to productivity, performance and outcomes, it seems an appropriate place to start.
To discuss this issue, my guest is Nick Smallwood, Chief Executive Officer at the government’s Infrastructure and Projects Authority and Head of Government’s Project Delivery Function. Essentially, he’s the man in charge of helping UK to not only deliver its current £600bn plus pipeline of infrastructure projects but also to radically improve the outcomes from that massive investment.
