MONTHLY FOCUS

Fast-Track-14 (FT-14) Launched!
Constructing Excellence has launched Fast-Track-14 (FT-14); a series of six-month-long programmes, held regularly around the UK regions, to help determined construction companies prepare for ISO 14001 audit and certification. FT-14 comprises a 24-stage, electronic implementation 'ISO Toolkit', supported by seven, locally-held, monthly workshops providing bespoke, expert advice. ISO 14001 is the international standard for environmental management systems and is rapidly becoming a requirement that buying organisations stipulate for all existing and new members of their supply and procurement chains.

Measuring Excellence
In April, Constructing Excellence will launch an exciting free quarterly magazine 'Measuring Excellence'. Aimed at spreading knowledge and best practice in the area of benchmarking, measurement and performance improvement, 'Measuring Excellence' will carry articles on client policy, how organisations are benefiting from the use of KPIs and benchmarking, and the latest products and services to help establish and maintain an effective, measured performance improvement programme. It will be available in hard copy and online.

If your organisation has a good track record and wishes to be considered as a contributor to 'Measuring Excellence', please email the Constructing Excellence Helpdesk on helpdesk@constructingexcellence.org.uk.
