Communities around the world benefit hugely from the power of infrastructure investment. Infrastructure spending is being looked to as a central solution to many policy challenges. In response, the sector needs to transform how we plan and deliver major programmes so we can fulfil infrastructure’s potential to play its part in benefitting global communities and in helping to address the climate emergency head-on.
Understanding future metrics
Around the world, we see great examples of excellence and ambition. The goal for our industry needs to be to make these examples the norm – driving high performance consistently on complex major programmes. In our Transforming infrastructure performance series, we are exploring five central themes that look at how we as an industry can do this.
Digital first
Delivering complex projects and programmes relies on the systems we use to design, build and operate infrastructure. As digital technology continues to evolve, adopting powerful integrated tools for programme management and delivery has never been more urgent - but also achievable.

Going digital: global infrastructure weak links
We explore opportunities to drive productivity, reduce risk and improve sustainability through digital strategies for infrastructure programmes.
Investable infrastructure
More digitalisation means smarter infrastructure, but investment continues to rely on scale and long-term return. What innovative financing models are being adopted globally and how are they impacting major programmes? How, and what, do we prioritise when it comes to mega programmes, so that we invest responsibly and effectively?
Delivering sustainable infrastructure
We are seeing a new era of infrastructure investment across the globe focused on overcoming the major challenges we face in modern society.
Creating investable infrastructure
We brought together three sector leaders to discuss the challenges and solutions that come with creating investable infrastructure.
Lasting legacy
The shift in emphasis in the private and public sectors towards long-term social value is significant across major programmes. Legacy goes beyond delivery of a project – it can mean unlocking diverse pools of talent that expand local supply chains and create opportunities for local communities.
Raising the bar for Inclusive infrastructure
At this panel event, we discussed how we can better affect change, by embedding inclusivity within client organisations, and the power of programmes.
