Doing it Differently: Systems for Rethinking Infrastructure, Second
edition proposes 'systems thinking' as a methodology to deliver
change. The book sets out the theory, concepts and tools using
real-life examples to persuade people to think differently rather
than simply relying on specific techniques or methods for
particular types of problem. The first edition was published in
2000 to respond to the Egan Report of 1998, which called for
radical change in the construction industry. With UK government
spending of the order of GBP200 billion over the next 10 years,
this book is directly helpful to those responsible for changes in
the delivery of infrastructure needs. The second edition has been
updated to reflect the current and growing realisation of the
importance of infrastructure to the national economy and to manage
the effects of climate change. It is organised using a simple
framework to help improve systems thinking capability and shared
learning. It also includes a coherent treatment of complexity in
construction with new clarifications of terms such as 'risk',
'vulnerability' and 'resilience', and more on how to use tools such
as the 'Italian flag', as well as a new treatment of
high-consequence, low-probability events to improve resilience.
Doing it Differently: Systems for Rethinking Infrastructure: (1)
reflects the current and growing realisation of the importance of
infrastructure to the national economy in the UK and
internationally, including the USA; (2) includes numerous practical
examples and case study boxes that help to illustrate major points;
(3) provides the inspiration and resources to enable all
infrastructure players to rethink and deliver change by doing it
differently.
