Riccardo Cosentino welcomes Ali Mafi, an industry veteran whose career spans construction, automotive, and consultancy. Ali shares his journey from site engineer at Heathrow Airport's Terminal 4 to leading transformative project management practices at Balfour Beatty, where he introduced innovative methodologies like critical chain management and lean principles. Drawing comparisons with the automotive sector, Ali emphasizes how better project monitoring, bottleneck identification, and accountability can improve outcomes in construction."My definition of project management is knowing the impact of every task on the end date, every day. If you don't know that, you cannot manage the project. You're managing tasks, or you're managing resources, but you're not managing the project." – Ali MafiKey TakeawaysReshaping project management starts with daily monitoring of tasks driving the end date.Time is the largest cost in construction projects, yet it is often mismanaged or overlooked.Lessons from industries like automotive manufacturing highlight the value of lean principles and shorter feedback loops.Complexity and uncertainty are inevitable, but they can be mitigated by prioritizing work and adopting adaptive strategies.Links MentionedThe Goal by Eliyahu M Goldratt https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/113934.The_Goal If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating and leave us a review on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser or Castbox. The conversation doesn't stop here—connect and converse with our LinkedIn community: Follow Ali Mafi on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/ali-mafi-345821/Follow Navigating Major Programmes on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/navigating-major-programmes/Follow Riccardo Cosentino on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/cosentinoriccardo/Read Riccardo's latest at wwww.riccardocosentino.com  Music: "A New Tomorrow" by Chordial Music.

Welcome to the Noggin Podcast. Today we are joined by Claire Thompson, a long term client of ours who we've been keen to get on the podcast for some time now.

London's FTSE 100 has kicked off the day higher as the markets reacted positively to inflation increasing slower than analysts had expected. ONS data showed a 2.2% uptick in inflation in the year to July, the first acceleration in 2024 and rising from 2% in May and June respectively, but below expectations for a 2.3% increase. Analysts noted a lower-than-expected service inflation print, of 5.2% against analysts' 5.5%, which could spell good news for further Bank of England rate cuts this year. Meanwhile, Aviva shares have held flat after it unveiled a 14% increase in operating profit for the first half of the year. “Sales are up. Operating profit is up. The dividend is up. Our plan to deliver more for customers and shareholders is working really well,” said chief executive Amanda Blanc. Blanc highlighted that Aviva added 270,000 more customers year to date. Shares in FTSE 250 infrastructure group Balfour Beatty shifted lower despite it hiking its interim dividend after revenue and profit ticked up over the first half of the year. According to the group, the outlook for complex projects remains “encouraging,” despite a series of plans being scrapped under Britain's new Labour government. #ProactiveInvestors #marketreport #ftse #ftse100 #ftse250 #boe #inflation #cpi #aviva #amandablanc #balfourbeatty #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Welcome to this  very special EXTRA episode of Building Women – our podcast that shines a light on senior women in the construction industry and their journeys and achievements in an environment that is still male dominated.In this special episode, which we recorded rather appropriately on International Women's Day, I had the privilege of interviewing not just one impressive woman in construction, but two: I sat down for a chat with the brilliant Terry Styant and Sophia Erfan, both Associate General Counsel at Balfour Beatty. Terri had a somewhat international upbringing but is now settled in Surrey with her husband and 'lockdown' cockapoo, Molly. Sophia lives in Hertfordshire with her husband and son. Both started out in private practice and both 'fell' into construction legal roles - today Terri is responsible for a team of 12 lawyers advising the business on operational matters ranging from ethics and governance to company secretarial work and Sophia manages a team of both lawyers and non-lawyers working on corporate matters which can range from ethics, compliance, dispute management and legal strategy and operations. They are a part of what the Legal 500s GC Powerlist calls a "trio of leaders".Perhaps unusually, Terri and Sophia are part of an almost all-female legal team at BB and, even more unusually they perpetuate the somewhat emerging trend in this podcast series of senior women in construction having only sisters as siblings! I am sure there must be something in that. Anyway, I do hope you enjoy our chat and that you have a couple of nuggets to take away that provoke some interesting thoughts and conversations within your own lives and careers.   

The FTSE 100 enjoyed gains on Wednesday morning as ONS data showed the UK economy had returned to growth at the start of the year. GDP climbed by 0.2% in January, as construction output increased and the service sector grew, with the figures coming after the UK slipped into technical recession late last year. Among companies, Metro Bank reported its first pre-tax profit in five years in a mixed report, which also noted an increase in cost-cutting targets. Also reporting was Balfour Beatty, which soared after hiking dividend payments for the year and announcing a new buyback following stronger profits. And finally, British American Tobacco said it had gained around £1.5 billion from the sale of a portion of its stake in Indian conglomerate ITC, with this set to fund buybacks. #proactiveinvestors #marketreport #ftse #ftse100 #footsie #metrobank #balfourbeatty #britishamericantobacco #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

AFC Energy PLC (AIM:AFC, OTC:AFGYF) CEO Adam Bond tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that good progress has been made with its Speedy Hydrogen Solutions (SHS) joint venture with Speedy Hire. Bond said the collaboration has led to the company receiving its first commercial order valued at approximately £2 million for fuel cell generators. The company has successfully completed factory acceptance testing for 12 fuel cell stacks and is in the final stages of testing the generator as a whole. This process is critical to meeting contractual obligations with Speedy Hire. Additionally, he said AFC Energy has seen significant market interest, hosting tier-one construction groups, including a visit from Balfour Beatty, and engaging in discussions about potential projects. Internationally, AFC Energy has attracted attention, particularly from the Middle East, continuing to work with Saudi Arabian company Tamgo under an exclusive dealership agreement. Bond also discussed funding awarded under the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition, earmarked for integrating its ammonia cracker technology with combustion engines in maritime applications. This novel approach aims to support the maritime industry's transition to cleaner energy sources. The company is working towards a feasibility study to demonstrate the integration of its ammonia cracker with a combustion engine, anticipated to conclude by year-end. #AFCenergy #FuelCellTechnology #CleanEnergy #HydrogenSolutions #MaritimeInnovation #AmmoniaCracking #SustainableEnergy #CleanMaritime #RenewableEnergy #GreenTech #ProactiveInvestors #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Some believe that multifamily is the way to go, while others prefer the more traditional single-family approach. In this conversation, two experienced investors discuss their views on the topic, with one stating that he loves multifamily but still sees value in residential properties, while the other values his time more than the potential for greater returns and prefers to passively invest in multifamily properties. Ultimately, both agree that education and reducing risk through knowledge is crucial for success in any investment, whether it's in real estate or the stock market. When it comes to real estate investing, it's essential to have a solid understanding of the different investment types and what works best for you.

How many times have you been asked for feedback, to complete a survey or submit new ideas, and then hear nothing back?  Plenty I'm sure.  A surefire way to destroy engagement and lose great people is to ignore people when you've asked them to give you something more than just their time.  If you are going to ask for ideas, you have to have a decent way of directing, collating, responding to and implementing them.  It's easier than it sounds.   Andy Goram talks to Will Read from Sideways6 about how best to bring employee ideas to life and what the rules of thumb are when trying to co-create with your employees so that everybody benefits. ----more---- Join The Conversation Find Andy Goram on LinkedIn here Follow the Podcast on Instagram here Follow the Podcast on Twitter here Check out the Bizjuicer website here Get a free consultation with Andy here Check out the Bizjuicer blog here Download the podcast here ----more---- Useful Links Follow Will Read on LinkedIn here Follow Will Read on Twitter here Visit the Sideways6 website here Follow Sideways6 on Twitter here Read about The IKEA effect here Find out about Jim Collins here Find out about Leo Quinn here Find out about Balfour Beatty's "Build To Last" strategy here Find Tim Ferriss's Podcast here Find out about James Clear here ----more---- Full Episode Transcript Get the full transcript of the episode here

For our Bauma 2022 show special, supported by 3D machine control and surveying specialist, Leica Geosystems, host Peter Haddock talks to Mark Crawford, the Digital Plant Manager for leading UK Tier 1 contractor, Balfour Beatty. This episode was recorded at Hexagon Live in Las Vegas following the launch of new surveying and construction sector technologies. Mark joined Balfour Beatty in his new role during the pandemic and has been heavily involved in accelerating the digital roadmap for the business. Mark: "The digitalisation of the mobile plant sector is all about the connectivity of the plant itself, the available technology and what capability that can deliver for our clients." Mark is also heavily involved in the National Highways (the organisation that looks after the UK's motorway network) Connected and Autonomous Plant (CAP) Group, which works together to revolutionise the construction sector. Mark: "Working with the CAP group National Highways has set out a roadmap for the future delivery of projects, and this has influenced our own roadmap to deliver projects for the organisation. It has already led to us accelerating programmes that include the interlinking of telematics data from across our fleet and supply chain. "This includes how we move data from the office to the field, and the creation of our own digital toolset. Through collaboration and training across our business and supply chain we are ensuring everyone is now working on a consistent platform, with one version of the truth, so that we can ultimately achieve our Net Zero aims. And as a leading contractor, it is our goal to develop a roadmap that is capable of achieving the needs of all our customers. "For example, in order to support National Highways, we need to work a couple of years in advance to ensure the whole supply chain and technology is available, tested and ready to deliver. This requires us to walk back from the date of compliance with everyone involved and to challenge the OEMs and technology providers to have solutions available for our supply chain to adopt. So it's a complex and continuous process that will require investment in both equipment and people to deliver."

What does feeling safe at work really mean? Being accepted for our ‘whole selves' is a central theme of ED&I. It's a given that when, as employees, we are provided the psychological safety to being our whole selves to work we are more productive, more creative and happier.  We can also reveal our vulnerabilities and fears making us more rounded, understood and accessible to our colleagues. Sandi Wassmer is the Chief Executive of the Employer's Network for Equality and Inclusion or enei for short.Enei supports employers of all shapes and sizes from the Bank of England and Balfour Beatty to Primark and Pfizer, as they embark on their DE&I journey. In this interview, Sandi Wassmer  also describes her own experience of surviving discrimination. She lost her sight in 2008 and suddenly the world saw her and treated her less favourably. However, she credits this devastating blow as giving her renewed energy and enthusiasm to campaign with even greater zeal for a fairer more inclusive and equal workplace. What is enei? [01:47]Sandi Wassmer introduces enei explaining that it's a membership organisation that supports members on their DE&I journey by offering services such as training and consultancy grounded in the Equality Act 2010 and beyond. Isn't DE&I just a box ticking exercise? [02:44]As Sandi says, organisations have to start somewhere and she's comfortable with that. Organisations are at different stages in their evolution and if enei can support organisations move from just compliance with the Equality Act to using it creatively to boost their business that's great.Is there a link between DE&I and employee wellbeing [07:02]Sandi states the link is absolute. Being able to bring your ‘whole self' to work because you are working in a psychologically safe space is critical to emotional wellbeing.What is psychological safety? [08:19]An environment without fear or discrimination is how Sandi describes it. Being able to be who you are and being open with your colleagues. What can organisations do to foster a sense of psychological safety [09:20]It's a leadership thing! Leaders as the top of the business set the culture.  It's not about having policies and procedures. If DE&I is important to the leadership then it will be part of that organisations' culture. What is culture fit? [17:04]We discuss ‘culture fit' during the recruitment process and in particular the rejection of a candidate based upon ‘culture'. Sandi prefers to use the term ‘cultural contribution' which is grounded in diversity of thought and approach.  She considers the term ‘fit' as an almost historical term.What drives Sandi's zeal for equality? [20:40]In 2008, Sandi Wassmer lost her sight and suddenly the world was a very different place. With such a major change, came a period of grief and anger that slowly moved to acceptance.  This acceptance has led Sandi to discover as she describes the ‘person I always was inside'.  She describes this as her ‘integrated self' – the same person inside and out.Resources:https://www.enei.org.ukhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/podcasthost/https://ovenreadyhr.comhttps://buddyboost.co.uk

Spot very much complements that workforce.” Mark Crawford“I like to call it a “collaborative robot” or a “co-bot”, and it's there to supplement the teams that are on site.” David Burczyk“If you look at the full power cycle of it, our energy cycle usage, then it's a sustainable model as well” Mark CrawfordAbout David Burczyk, Construction Robotics Lead at Trimble Connected ConstructionDavid Burczyk is the Construction Robotics Lead at Trimble where he is responsible for the business area management and the strategic product development of the Trimble construction robotics solutions.

“Good people, regardless of function, generally have a choice. We've worked hard to get our hiring managers in a mindset that, when they go into the interview, it is a two-way thing.”The market for new, ambitious procurement professionals might seem relatively thin right now, but could our industry set our sights further afield to create a wider talent pool with more varied skill sets?Balfour Beatty's Evan Sutherland has witnessed the benefits of being open-minded, and the missed opportunities that come from being too picky. After all, since procurement is a function that touches so many parts of the business, are candidates from commercial, marketing, finance, or anywhere in between not equipped with transferable skills?On this episode of Talent Talks, Evan discusses the ever-growing focus on soft skills and attitude, his desire for a more centralised approach to procurement across the board, and how an openness to technology can transform the role that our function plays in generating bottom line revenue.This episode of Talent Talks covers:Nurturing and developing a prolific talent poolHow businesses can adapt to the job-rich, candidate-light marketCentralising your procurement function to create a more cohesive unitThe essential need for soft skills and personabilityWays in which we can encourage more promising young professionals into the industryThe Talent Talks Podcast is proudly sponsored by Barkers Commercial Consultancy.

Paul McKoen is a very experienced CFO. His career has given him experience in a number of industries and includes just about every aspect of the CFO role. We talk through Paul's career, and highlight a some interesting experiences of the CFO needing to make an impact very quickly in a new CFO role. Paul talks about the times where a fresh pair of eyes and some cross-industry experience made a real difference to his new employer. It's quite a journey! Paul McKoen qualified at the Ford Motor Company Paul started his career at Ford where he gained his CIMA qualification and spent 11 years in finance, including an overseas role in Cologne. During this period, Paul worked his way up to middle-management grade. Paul experienced first-hand the huge impact of the introduction of technology solutions and the evolving effect that this can have on the finance role. The vast majority of Paul's experience has been on-the-job training. For example, learning from bosses, peers and other role models. Paul has experienced many new CFO roles During his career, Paul has experienced many new CFO roles and Finance Director roles. These include divisional roles at Serco, Vertex/United Utilities and Balfour Beatty. Paul has also performed group CFO roles at Tradaq, B&M Retail, Value Retailer and Silentnight Group. Within these roles, Paul achieved many milestones such as delivering fundraising, acquisitions and successful company exits. Adding value within a new CFO role During one of Paul's new CFO roles, he supported the CEO to determine why they were losing too many bids to competitors. This involving challenging the business and providing a new set of eyes regarding what was actually happening. For example, Paul carefully reviewed the assumptions being applied towards costing analysis and pricing. Accordingly, Paul identified a flaw in their assumptions that significantly reduced their pricing going forward. In summary, don't be afraid to ask the obvious questions and to challenge the answers provided. Making an impact in a new CFO role Paul previously took on an interim CFO to support a fundraising process. The investors had challenged management due to concerns that their profit forecast was overstated by £3 million. Paul compared the sales forecast figures to the actual figures during the previous few years. Accordingly, he identified that the sales team were over-forecasting sales numbers by £10m. Applying a 30% margin resulted in a profit overstatement of £3m. This is a good example of how you can gain strong experience very quickly within a new interim CFO role. How to approach a new CFO role During your first 100 days, CFOs will have an up-front honeymoon period. This provides you with a fantastic one-off opportunity to spend lots of time with people and to ask the stupid questions. You are likely to identify some quick easy wins during these discussions to make an early positive impact within your new CFO role. GrowCFO's Future CFO Programme covers how to approach a new CFO role within Module 9 called Your first 100 days. Paul has a strong example of this from one of his previous new CFO roles. He spent the first few weeks asking everybody what does and doesn't work. His findings identified various outdated strategies that were now causing a negative impact within the business. These insights allowed the business to adjust their approach and double sales during the next few years. This is a great example that shows the benefits of providing a fresh challenge within a business. Helping the next generation In summary, Paul has had an incredible range of experience during his career. He is keen to share these with the next generation of finance leaders to pass on the key learnings from his many successes. In addition, Paul has learnt how to solve problems effectively and has developed techniques to help him to relate to other people.

The latest Highways Voices podcast from Highways News has heard why transport modelling is key to making the most of the growth in traffic data that is being gathered to understand changes in patterns due to the Coronavirus crisis. Guest Darren Capes from the Department for Transport explains a data project he's overseen for the Transport Technology Forum which analyses data gathered from more than a hundred local authorities. “I think the snapshots are increasingly useful, we now have nearly a year's worth of data,” he tells the podcast. “So not only we're able to see what's happening and how lockdown is affecting trade and travel and daily life, but we're also able to make some interesting comparisons between pre-lockdown or between what's happened in the various ones. So we can start to see some interesting trends.” But it's the use of the data in the future where he gets increasingly animated. The former City of York transport manager suggests that the power of transport modelling will help give real insights into the new shape of traffic.  “We're seeing increasingly elaborate models, we're seeing increasingly powerful computing capabilities that allow us to run models, much more complex models,” he says. “I think cities should be starting to invest more in real time modelling and bringing the power of modelling, bringing their transport planning services together with the network management services, working with companies, traditional players and new entrants into the market that can model things in real time… I think now is the time to start to invest in the resource to get the modelling in place to get a new understanding of what how your city will work in the future.” This week's other guest is INRIX director Peter Lees who told his former colleague Paul Hutton about the INRIX Traffic Scorecard's value in understanding travel behaviour and how people's commutes will change long-term. “We've noticed the biggest drop being commutes in and out of towns and city centres,” he explains. “So, whereas generally travelling between centres on the motorway network and the larger road networks, and between smaller town and village centres hasn't been affected as much, we anticipate that that will rebound. And it has already started to to a degree more quickly than the regular commuting traffic where, you know, it's a bit of an unknown at the moment.” The podcast also features a new feature, “Adrian's Accolade”, where Highways News co-owner Adrian Tatum picks out an organisation or person due special praise for an industry-improving idea. Who wins this week, Tarmac, Balfour Beatty or the UK Roads Liaison Group? Find out by listening to this great addition to industry knowledge.

Bankers around the globe are getting ready for a wave of corporate takeovers. Covid-19 has changed the position of many private and family-owned businesses and they are forced to exit earlier than expected. Others had to put plans on hold to see how Covid pans out. While it is easy to build the case for mergers and acquisitions on paper, most fail and destroy value for their shareholders.  Welcome to the Better Boards podcast series. I am Dr Sabine Dembkowski, Founder and Managing Partner of Better Boards. We make the boards of the most ambitious organisations more effective. We do this by providing clients with an evidence-based approach for board evaluations and board development programmes. I am delighted to speak with one of the most respected Chairmen in the UK - Philip Aiken.

Aveva plc is listed in London on the FTSE100. Phil Aiken has just under 50 years of experience in industry and commerce. He is Non-Executive Chairman at Aveva Plc, Chairman of Balfour Beatty plc and the Australian Day Foundation, Non-Executive Director of Newcrest Mining Limited and Director of Gammon China Limited.

Nick Nanakos is the Founder and CEO of TruckBux, a full-stack online ordering platform for food truck owners and their customers. While studying Finance and Real Estate at Drexel University, Nick worked part-time & in internships at several large firms such as J.P. Morgan, Investors Capital, Balfour Beatty, and Ameriprise Financial. He founded the Drexel University Real Estate Club and made a ton of connections, amassing knowledge in the sector. However, Nick found himself immensely unhappy on this corporate path—and truthfully, unhappy was an understatement. He then began building TruckBux and this energized him beyond imagination.  Nick noticed an absurd amount of food trucks appearing at his university, neighboring campuses, and major cities that he traveled to. While the growth fascinated him, he also recognized some major problems that were holding back the industry’s full potential due to a lack of innovation. Nick worked relentlessly towards his vision, launched TruckBux, and eventually dropped out of school at 22-years-old to be all in. Nick comes from a background of highly-talented restaurant entrepreneurs and has worked in every angle of food—from waiting, to cooking, to managing, to bringing technology into his family’s restaurants. Ironically enough, his grandfather immigrated from Greece to the US with $8 and worked with a street food cart in Manhattan. This gave him a chance to observe other apps go-to-market and product functionality, dissecting all of them with the knowledge that he would create something far more powerful for food trucks. Once his restaurant intuition aligned with his observations of the fast-growing food truck space, his focus shifted to food tech. In all pursuits, Nick’s mentality is high-conviction, non-consensus, and irrationally optimistic.  In this episode… When Nick Nanakos decided to start his business in the food industry, he knew that there were already big players dominating the field. But from his research and intuition, he knew that there were gaps he could fill with a little innovation. Coupled with his desire to be his own boss, he developed an app that has since revolutionized the food truck business. TruckBux, Nick's app, was started through bootstrapping and has been going strong despite all the challenges it has faced. TruckBux helps food truck entrepreneurs grow their businesses, and unlike the bigger food delivery apps, TruckBux takes a smaller percentage from orders, helping these businesses grow and reach a wider market. In this week's episode of Elevate Hire, Greg Toroosian is joined by Nick Nanakos, the Founder and CEO of TruckBux, to talk about Nick's journey in entrepreneurship and his process building an app for food truck businesses. Nick explains why he chose to enter a competitive market dominated by big industry players, how his company is being impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, why he chose to bootstrap his business, and common challenges faced by food truck business owners.

Welcome to the Elevator World News Podcast. This week’s news podcast is sponsored by elevatorbooks.com: www.elevatorbooks.com “PRIZED” LONDON STATION CONTRACTS LET Building.co.uk recently reported that what it calls "the prized deals" for London’s new HS2 Ltd. rail stations at Euston and Old Oak Common have been let to international consultancy/construction company Mace Group and international infrastructure group Balfour Beatty. Their combined value is approximately GBP3 billion (US$3.88 billion), with half of that being the work at Euston. Designed by Grimshaw Architects, this station will have 11 platforms, with other work including expanding the existing underground station and linking the complex to the nearby Euston Square tube station. HS2’s plans for Old Oak Common are "to set standards for design with big, light, open spaces, excellent wayfinding and prominent lifts and escalators, [and] making it easier for passengers with luggage to move around," New Civil Engineer previously reported. Its designs were drawn up by a team led by WSP and architect WilkinsonEyre. The stations will be built under construction management contracts. The Mace team includes Spanish firm Dragados, and Balfour Beatty has teamed with Vinci and transportation-planning consultancy Systra. Demolition work has been ongoing since last fall, and phased openings are planned to begin in 2026.

Are demanding shareholders behind the billion-dollar boom in mergers and acquisitions? Deirdre Hipwell, The Times M&A correspondent, explains why a change of mood among shareholders is helping drive what is being called a “golden era” for the dealmakers. One company that was vulnerable to a take-over last year was Balfour Beatty, which is about to reveal its interim results. The construction giant has issued a string of profit warnings recently but Robert Lea, The Times industrial editor, tells us why any sign of good news at the troubled company will have others firms running to make a take-over bid. He also talks us through the upcoming results for Serco and G4S. Will Serco’s new chief executive Rupert Soames give investors more details on his turn-around plan for the embattled outsourcing giant? And Alexandra Frean, US economics editor, explains why British companies trying to break America shouldn't get hung up about where they come from. They all join presenter Robert Miller in this week’s podcast... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
