I was just watching a webinar on collaboration. It's good to see modern day emphasis on collaboration, working together, sharing risk, joint problem solving and so on. Tools like NEC3 contracts, BIM and the incredible pace of technology can only help reach whatever goal we have in mind. But when did we decide not to be collaborative? Does this trace back to our outdated social class system? Are we still dogged by professional snobbery?
From my observations of the UK construction industry in particular, it has been incredibly painful to watch people be as non-collaborative as they can possibly get away with. This must have had a huge negative implication on people. But how long will it actually take to re-shape such a fragmented industry to allow a huge and genuine cultural change? Any thoughts?
