The
Movement for Innovation was formed in November 1998 to implement, across the whole of the industry, the recommendations contained in The Government Task Force's report 'Rethinking Construction'. The report proposed the creation of a 'movement for change' which would be a group of dynamic people inspired by the need for change. Since the beginning of 2004, it has been a part of Constructing Excellence.
The Movement aims to lead radical improvement in construction in value for money, profitability, reliability and respect for people, through demonstration of best practice and innovation.
It is imperative that benchmarking is adopted prior to setting out on the road of change. Within M4I there are 180 Demonstration Projects submitted by construction clients and contractors who are committed to innovating in the way that they deliver their projects and in benchmarking their performance using the pan-industry headline KPIs. Evidence of the benefits of best practice measures and innovations in practice has been captured and illustrated by these projects. Benchmarking against M4I Demonstration Projects puts you up against the best.
The Movement is seeking to facilitate performance efficiencies, to achieve sustained annual improvements of:
- 10% reduction in cost and construction time
- 20% reduction in defects and accidents
- 10% increase in productivity and profitability
- 20% increase in predictability of project performance.
These will be achieved through four complementary avenues for innovation and change:
- Product development
- Project implementation
- Partnering the supply chain and
- Production of components.
The Movement is involved in a range of services which include:
- Clusters
- Working Groups
- M4I Board
- M4I Team
- M4I Clubs
