Join us for an introduction to The Get It Right Initiative [GIRI]: a non-for-profit organisation launched in 2017 and dedicated to tackling error in the UK construction industry.
GIRI has the singular aim to eliminate avoidable error and its associated consequences. The Initiative has adopted a multi-disciplinary approach to raise awareness across the sector with a focus on changing culture and attitudes, and improving knowledge, decision-making and planning skills. Members include clients, consultants, contractors, regulators, educators, professional institutions and trade bodies who are working together to steer the agenda and improve the UK construction industry.
Since its launch, GIRI has been raising awareness about the issues of error in construction. GIRI's Members come together to share knowledge and research the tools the Industry needs to adopt to improve productivity across the board. Tom Barton will introduce how GIRI is approaching Design, Technology and Training as well as the role that Culture plays in eliminating avoidable error.
