Industry transformation and innovation champion

This flagship category within that of the BCIA initiatives awards will recognise project teams that are paving the way in delivering fast paced change and rapid innovation to benefit both their current work and the wider industry.

Entrants to this category must be able to demonstrate that they have taken a bold step and successfully delivered on the expected outcomes – and more.

The type of step forward that judges will be looking for in the winner can be typified by the swift innovation delivered by the construction sector in response to the challenges of Covid-19. During the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic, project teams collaborated to come up with creative solutions and put them into action in true partnership without delay in order to get back onto site safely and minimise programme delays.

Your team may have a transformative solution borne out of the pandemic that is now delivering wider benefits for your project or you may have taken the same approach to delivering digital, productivity or efficiency improvements.

Key criteria:

• Transformational concept that could be rolled out to other projects
• Shows how the work was fast tracked through collaboration
• Quantifiable improvement that delivers advancement rather than incremental change
• Able to demonstrate successful delivery of innovation
