Construction Industry Collaboration Initiative (CICI) Update

May 1, 2023

CICI was launched just over a month ago and you may well be wondering, what is happening?

To remind you, the three key aims of this partnership between CESW and Leadersmeets are to:

· Promote Collaboration and Collaborative Working between organisations across the sector as a powerful way of improving contact delivery to time, cost and quality;

· Provide behavioural training to help people in organisations and the supply chain in our certificate programme to meet the above first aim; and

· Continue to carry out regular research to update knowledge and support learning.

We are this month running the first CICI certificate one-day training event for our founder member, Constructing Excellence Gloucestershire Club, and are looking forward to this and will be giving feedback to you on this in the next newsletter.

Meanwhile, we are agreeing a venue so that we can offer to CESW members the certificate training and will be notifying you, the membership, soonest.

Our latest ‘snap shot’ research carried out in late April reveals a sector where the important value of trust – the firm belief in the reliability, ability, or strength of another organisation – is rated not better that an average at just 5/10 or 50%.

With such a low view of trust in the sector it is perhaps not surprising that 55% of respondents believe that there ‘is a lack of willingness to share risk’ between organisations.’

There is a much to do if the sector is to change and transform and this initiative is seeking to drive it. If you would like to comment, take part, or contribute please contact howard@leadersmeets.com
