He advocates for harnessing digital tools, prefabrication, and industrialised processes to expedite their roll-out.

Client briefs by nature tend to be quite detailed and prescriptive, with the designer’s role limited to converting the brief into a good design with deviation from the brief discouraged.It was only by challenging the brief and focusing instead on value, and the barriers to value, that we were able to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients.. Our involvement in two recent FOYA award-winning projects is testament to both the commitment of our team and the transformational impacts that Design to Value can bring..

Learn more about our recent projects.to watch the full session on Autodesk's website..Here are the key takeaways from Jaimie’s thought-provoking presentation.. 1.Interconnectedness is essential for innovation.

Jaimie highlighted how the boundaries between industries are rapidly blurring, creating new opportunities for collaborative solutions.By linking sectors such as pharmaceuticals, digital design, energy, and process engineering, industries can share knowledge and resources, leading to faster and more impactful advancements.

He cited the development of a low-carbon Ventolin inhaler by GSK, a collaborative effort across multiple fields, as a case in point for what interconnected, interdisciplinary work can achieve.. 2.

The urgency of accelerating industrialisation.Although there are some individual examples of its real-life deployment, we are at the start of an exponential curve.. A thread of discussion around the idea that systems could be self-validating created significant energy in the room, as well as friction between those who understood how transformational such a realised idea could be with those who saw the potential disaster.

Regulators are clearly going to be either a key partner/enabler or barrier to smart developments.Or both.. What appears to be clear already is that the impacts of the growth of these technologies will be felt in all parts of laboratory operations: people, skills required, job satisfaction, locations, collaborations, buildings.

This is certainly not a time to be wedded to the bench..Intimately linked, still early in its industrialisation but a few stages ahead of smart-technology, is automation and digitisation.
