She says the CEOs still fighting the change to industrialised construction need to recognise that others aren’t anymore - that in a long-game sense, they “probably aren’t doing the right thing.”.

Without the maintenance of the energy and ambition which delivered the design, the value can simply be frittered away.You must take up the mantle and do things you have not done before, engage with people not engaged with before; like a carpentry workshop making aircraft parts.

The outcome, the delivered value is the driver, not the process.. As the impacts of global warming and destruction of the natural world become clearer to us all, we should not hide away, or simply feel guilt, or try to push it away and dismiss it.We should use our energies to connect, collaborate, innovate.If we are truly the dominant species we should and need to demonstrate the fact, through leadership and adaptation of what we do as individuals, but more importantly how we can come together to find expansive solutions to the problems we have caused..

In the edited words from a memorable speech: -.We shall go on to the end,.

We shall fight with the power of the sun, winds, atoms and oceans,.

We shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in our abilities, we shall defend our world, whatever the cost may be,.Of course, there was griping, anger, and frustration about the situation.

There was also a humble reflection that our plight was nothing like those stuck in conflict and humanitarian disasters.What struck me most, though, was the very human and humane way people came together - caring about those wishing to catch their flight to New York, caring about one of the passengers who started to feel ill, finding space where there seemed to be none; and the humour, sharing stories, and keeping each other’s spirits up.. My sense is that we can always see the future as dark and full of threat.

It can feel like walking into a cave, where, given the darkness, our imagination takes over to ready us for all the potential threats.We listen for the fall of rocks, we see flashes of images that may or may not be there, we feel the air around us, and we search for odours which could point to pending doom.
