Why Outcomes Matter
When we talk about infrastructure, what do we mean by the importance of outcomes? Designing with outcomes in mind means asking, right from the concept stage, what is the overall value of this project?
New infrastructure such as railway networks, green homes and new major roads play a key role in fuelling economic growth and improving lives. With such great investment, comes a responsibility to deliver infrastructure that demonstrates real value for the people who use those railways, homes, or roads for many years to come.
Following the success of the first program, Planning for the Long Term, the IAM has again partnered with ITN Business to produce a digital news-style program, Why Outcomes Matter, highlighting the importance of starting with the end in mind when it comes to building infrastructure.
In this program, we’ll be looking at organizations and projects who are not only committed to delivering on time and on budget, but more importantly to benefitting society.
We hope you enjoy these short videos, produced with the expertise of ITN Business. They can be watched as a sequence or you can select which ones you want to watch.
Please help us spread the message Why Outcomes Matter with your colleagues and friends and share the link
