INTEGRATED INFRASTRUCTURE | E4 | Jon Davies on creating a blueprint for change in the industry.
In this episode I am joined by Jon Davies, CEO of Australian Constructors Association. Jon has recently been appointed to the role and has exciting plans to bring energy, advocacy, engagement and leadership to create a more sustainable industry for all. Prior to the ACA Jon spent two years as the CEO of the Queensland Major Contractors Association on the back of a 30-year career in the construction industry. In this episode we talk about: - How COVID spurred Jon on to look for opportunities to create a more suitable industry. - How the ACA works and who the association represents. - The biggest challenges to the industry today, in particular the profitless boom and the issue with risk allocation on major projects. - Why Australia needs a blueprint for a more sustainable industry and how the ACA is going to deliver it. - Why and how the industry culture needs to change to attract, train and retain talent. - Why reputational risk will be the key driver for clients to get on board and work more collaboratively. - Why Jon is so excited about the opportunity to create a significant change right now.
