Too many cooks spoil the broth is a colloquial statement of the same system understanding..
In 2012, Bryden Wood and GlaxoSmithKline started working together to try and come up with a different approach to pharmaceutical capital projects.We started from the premise that while a great deal of effort was expended by a lot of expert people within both pharmaceutical and engineering companies, and despite the significant sums being spent, capital projects often failed to meet business requirements.
And how could we do better in our approach to pharmaceutical facility design?.We developed a particular set of tools and an approach that over time became what we now refer to as Design to Value.As we have evolved this approach over the years, we’ve extended it to include many more pharmaceutical engineering projects, as well as a wide range of other sectors, from heavy industry to prisons.. Part of our role is to act as pharmaceutical plant design consultants.
What we aim to do is make sure that projects are well aligned with business requirements; to define and design future assets that translate a company’s strategic objectives into tangible manufacturing facilities – and provide added value.The key point here is that we put a great deal of effort into defining the business needs.
That is, after all, why we're doing the project.. We also invest effort into constantly assessing how well our design solutions match those needs.
This has often resulted in solutions that require no capital expenditure at all, because we find different ways of meeting the requirements..Her work at the John Grill Institute for Project Leadership aims to redefine project management by focusing on governance structures and leadership approaches that are adaptable to the rapidly changing world, highlighting the need for leaders who can effectively integrate systems and drive outcomes that align with the evolving demands of society, technology, and the environment.. 2.
Embracing Digital Transformation:.The conversation underscores the transformative impact of digital technologies on construction.
Whyte discusses the shift from traditional practices to digital-first strategies, where the use of data analytics, BIM (Building Information Modelling), and digital twins becomes central to project delivery.This digital shift not only enhances efficiency and collaboration but also opens new avenues for innovation in project analytics and stakeholder engagement.. 3.
