Conversely, Bryden Wood’s Platform approach has the potential to deliver the fundamental industry transformation that both Singapore and Hong Kong are striving for.
Changing platform technology could place additional demands on operations above and beyond those of securing ongoing supply and product transfer..The compulsion to change seems not yet powerful enough to overcome these barriers or to put it another way, has not yet reached the activation energy threshold.
That said, some companies are getting closer..The compulsions to invest in capacity, whether new or replacement capacity, are clearly there.All the companies have made strong sustainability commitments, all of them have ageing assets which over the next decade require significant investment, all of them have new products which they want to get to the market as quickly as possible.
The problem which loomed behind the stated barriers is that continuing with the historical mode of investment will simply not deliver the stated intent and aspirations of the industry and society at large..So, where do we go next?.
The conversation has just started, however there are some clear ways forward: -.
Non-competitive sharing between companies enables a combined building of knowledge and confidence about the developing state-of-the-art platform.book the introduction includes the words: -.
“What if we look past the hospital building and see the journeys of a thousand patients, past the factory and reflect upon the launch of a lifesaving treatment, past the data centre and muse upon millions of connected people.”.We know it is through relationships, actions, innovations, and interactions of people; in the context of the global environment and ecosystem, where value is created or destroyed.
The built environment can augment or detract from those value-creating processes, however often the buildings are just like robes, they keep the rain off and the warmth in..In collaborative design processes, if you can achieve this kind of focus on the purpose of the work and the people who create the value; bringing together client, design disciplines, stakeholders, and experts; each with their ideas, concerns, knowledge, creativity, and humility, therein lies the opportunity for exquisite outcomes..
