The Institute of Civil Engineers (ICE) and the Infrastructure Client Group recently published their report on a new approach to delivering infrastructure projects. In this lecture, Simon Murray will explain how the report came to be written and summarise its findings. He will go on to suggest ways in which academics and practitioners can work together to improve the performance of the organisations that deliver our infrastructure.

He is a non-executive director of Highways England, a member of the Infrastructure Client Group and co-founder of the Acumen7 network.
