Traditional methods won\u2019t solve today\u2019s challenges; what we need is a radical reset. Rethinking outdated models is essential to deliver faster and more cost-effectively, with greater resilience, lower carbon emissions, and infrastructure built for the future. But how?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of Capgemini\u2019s \u2018<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/gb-en\/industries\/energy-and-utilities\/future-of-energy-transition-utilities\/\">Future of Energy Transition and Utilities<\/a><\/strong>\u2019 series<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Capgemini&#8217;s What\u2019s NOW | Constructing Tomorrow event \u2013 hosted by our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/gb-en\/about-us\/who-we-are\/innovation-ecosystem\/applied-innovation-exchange\/\">Applied Innovation Exchange<\/a> \u2013 united leaders across energy, utilities, transport, mobility, manufacturing, and engineering to discuss just that. Together, we explored how to reimagine infrastructure delivery, embrace digital innovation, and create a resilient, future-proof foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on for our key takeaways from the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-old-ways-are-obsolete\"><strong>The old ways are obsolete<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The UK\u2019s infrastructure sector is at a tipping point. Ageing assets, a growing population, and mounting sustainability demands persist despite record investments. Projects face an average 20-month delay and cost overruns of up to 80%. With major investments like BlackRock\u2019s acquisition of Global Infrastructure Partners and Ofwat\u2019s \u00a388 billion water initiative, innovation is no longer optional \u2013 it\u2019s critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, according to Capgemini partner Autodesk\u2019s Construction Disconnected report, we&#8217;re starting from a place of fragmentation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Teams <\/strong>\u2013 35% of time is wasted on non-optimal activity. E.g. waiting for info on a construction site<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Projects <\/strong>\u2013 \u00a3280 billion is spent on annual re-work costs created by poor project data and communication<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Business <\/strong>\u2013 95.5% of all data is wasted. The average AEC firm uses 26 TB of storage space on data but almost all of it goes unused as it passes down the chain. O&amp;M teams reproduce all the same data again and again<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Legacy collaboration <\/strong>\u2013 manual workflows lead to ineffectiveness and time wasting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-we-re-also-up-against-massive-challenges\">We\u2019re also up against massive challenges:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>More expenditure<\/strong> \u2013 an increase of \u00a3 1.2 trillion from 2021 to 2030, with most sectors experiencing 1.7x increase from previous cycles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Limited resources <\/strong>\u2013 workforces are moving to other growing industries\/geographies and supply chains are stretched thin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shifting targets<\/strong> \u2013 an increased focus on the natural environment and building resilience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Regulatory requirements <\/strong>\u2013 the complexity and frequency of regulatory changes necessitate robust systems for monitoring and implementing compliance measures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Without adopting a digital-first mindset, progress is impossible. It\u2019s critical to rethink how we build, design, and deliver in the face of these challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-digital-must-be-part-of-the-construction-process\">Digital must be part of the construction process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Construction is trailing behind other industries in realising the benefit of digital advancements. Integrating digital delivery with physical engineering can significantly boost capital delivery productivity, enhancing project outcomes and performance across all lifecycle stages by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ensuring your workforce can adapt to this changing landscape<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aligning unconnected processes through a complex <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/gb-en\/insights\/research-library\/next-gen-supply-chain\/\">supply chain<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Our perspective is that we need a step change in strategies to drive a fundamental shift in construction performance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Digital engineering and AI maturity.<\/strong> The growth and capability in Digital Engineering platforms &amp; AI solutions today vs. three years ago is game changing. The opportunity is here and now, not three years away \u2013 digital business strategies should be planned across multiple horizons.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The business case is compelling.<\/strong> Speed, productivity, lower overheads, reduction in overruns, and reduced variances all positively impact the bottom line, as well as investment and delivery plans.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Status quo, incremental change <em>will <\/em>fail.<\/strong> We need disruption and bold ambition to drive change. History suggests the same outcome five years from now, where incremental adjustments are the norm, planning horizons are too long, and too \u201ctomorrow\u201d biased.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Delivery models must evolve.<\/strong> There needs to be a core shift in intelligent owner\/operator models, more deeply integrated with delivery vehicles and supply chains. We also see the requirement for a Digital Delivery Partner model as well as new internal digital engineering skills.

For example, starting afresh by digitising only the essentials rather than absolutely everything.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Balancing digital and analogue <\/strong>\u2013Integrating digital advancements with existing analogue systems is challenging, particularly in large utilities. A harmonious blend is needed to ensure efficiency and effectiveness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Driving change through people <\/strong>\u2013Bringing people along on the digital journey is crucial. Blockchain can play a role in ensuring payment confidence within the supply chain, but collective buy-in is essential for successful change.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Addressing AI\/human workforce concerns <\/strong>\u2013 AI can significantly enhance job performance when properly integrated. Leaders need to guide their teams through the transformation and show them their place in the digital workforce to alleviate anxiety about AI replacing human jobs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Involving procurement teams<\/strong> \u2013 Including procurement teams in the digital transformation \u2013 not just focusing on those connected to digital or the asset \u2013 is vital to avoid safety and risk issues.
