G4C - Generation for Change
Allergate House, Belmont Business Park, Durham
The UK construction industry has never needed its future generation as much as it needs it now!
Consider some of the challenges facing our industry today: renewing our infrastructure, the transformation of the built environment to deliver an 80% reduction in carbon emissions, and the support required by asset users to drive out inefficiency and waste from the construction and operations of assets.
If the industry is to deliver solutions to these challenges, we need a large talent pool of engaged, adequately trained individuals from the next generation. This is where G4C comes in and why we intend to establish a North East Group. We would like to invite you to an initial meeting on Wednesday 30th November 2011 at 2.30pm at Constructing Excellence North East office at Allergate House, Belmont Business Park, Durham DH1 1TW to discuss this and we very much hope you can make it.
We would be most pleased if you could forward it on to anyone else you think may be interested.
About G4C
G4C is part of Constructing Excellence, and we share joint aims. Following CE's lead in collaborative practice we seek to harness the power of new people in the industry to make changes for the better and improve the way we work together. We are open to anyone looking to join the industry, or in the early stages of their career in the built environment sector. We have a board of around 16 people who meet monthly to plan G4C initiatives and events through which we communicate to our peer group.
Vision
"To become the organisation that is the driving force for industry change, through the development and connection of the future industry leaders"
This will be done by targeting three themes:
- People - Attracting, effectively developing, connecting and retaining the necessary people required to drive change
- Sustainability - Equipping members with the necessary skills to drive the industry and wider society towards a sustainable future
- Asset Outcomes - Supporting the industry’s transformation from process driven to asset driven solutions aligned to client and wider society needs (focused on outcomes)
An active Group is established in London and others are being established elsewhere in the UK. It is our intention in the North East of England to establish
G4C members can benefit by:
- Having access to innovative industry thinking
- Having opportunities to 'accelerate growth' beyond typical career path(s)
- Understanding the strategic development / future of the UK Construction (asset management) industry
- Being involved in networking opportunities to form relationships with like minded high achieving peers and to provide business opportunities
I hope to see on 30th November 2011 and if you could confirm your attendance to catriona@cene.org.uk
