Three focuses for better productivity and performance: - Digital Techniques - Offsite Manufacturing Techniques - Whole Life Asset Performance Five foundations of the Industry Strategy : 1. Idea – investment to innovate and accelerating in the development of digital and manufacturing-based approaches 2. People – reforming industry recruitment and training 3. Infrastructure – National Infrastructure and Construction Pipeline to support the government’s ambition 4. Business environment – developing a better procurement and sustainable business model 5. Places – working across the sector to strengthen the supply chain and skills base across the UK and extend to overseas Relationship between the five foundations MiC Projects in the United Kingdom
