Webcast: The DNA of innovative organizations

From low carbon materials and artificial intelligence to circular economy and offsite construction, the built environment is experiencing an evolutionary wave of change. Whilst technologies like these may be facilitating the industry’s digital transformation, they aren’t always the catalyst of innovation or the key to organizational resilience.   

In this webcast, a panel of BSI experts explore the DNA of innovation: the principles, mindsets, and approaches that leading individuals and businesses are adopting to sustain momentum and deliver meaningful change within the sector.  

Join us as we discuss why things like teamwork, creativity, and positive culture that recognizes that not all ideas are opportunities are all part of the innovation cycle and the steps you can take today to drive a more innovative culture within your business. 

What topics will the webcast cover? 

• Industry 5.0 Landscape: What does technological innovation look like today?  
• Technology vs Innovation: What’s the difference (and why does it matter)? 
• The Innovation Cycle: What’s needed for success?  
• How standardization is supporting innovation within the Built Environment?
