She says there’s a need for more people like herself and Jaimie Johnston to challenge what doesn’t make sense and stick their necks on the line.. “It's not easy to be the Queen of Prefab!” she says, adding, “Mike Tyson says, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.

- Delve into the intricacies of the 'Platform II' initiative, leveraging the principles of industrial scalability and mass production to advance construction efficiency.. - Decode the influential role of government procurement strategies in catalysing the adoption of platform-based construction models.. - Explore the flexible and forward-thinking design of the Platform II structural system, thoughtfully engineered to accommodate a variety of architectural forms and functional spaces.. - Understand the considerable benefits that come with the adoption of platform methods, including amplified productivity, reduced build times, and a stronger commitment to sustainable construction practices.Working on building sites in my teens I first realised how reductive the project working environment could be.Of course, I would not have used the word reductive maybe “this just doesn’t make any sense”.For I could sense, even at a young age, that the people doing the work felt no connection to any purpose or larger endeavour..

I could have put this down to the construction industry, a much-maligned industry, however as I began my career through the food and pharmaceutical industries I began to realise that much of business and society is hampered by the same reductive thinking which comes with an amnesia of purpose and a huge loss of value.The approaches and attitudes of the last century, which we were all part of, have led us to a point of crisis.. As I studied and researched systems thinking, and psychological understanding and analysed great stories of achievement I found evidence of how shared purpose and joined-up, holistic approaches yield better, maybe exquisite, outcomes on every level; individual, team, company, society, eco-system and planet.. At this point in human history I will argue that we have all the technology or technological development capability we need to solve our problems, what we lack is a scale of vision and connected approaches.

Not the reductive visions of companies and governments, but expansive visions and shared purpose that look to deliver value to all society and the planet synchronously.. And not the approaches written in our procedures, workflows and bodies of knowledge; approaches which align to expansive visions and work with the complexities we live in.. As we continue to build and develop the world we inhabit I will argue in this lecture that there is a way to find both treasure and redemption..
