What Are Your Top Tips..
...For a successful new build? For embedding IT? For installing technology?
Plan well ahead. The user brief for the building was prepared two years before the design of the building started.
Involve all staff in the preparation of the user brief and the revisions during design stage. Groups of staff meeting directly with the architect worked very well.
Have a defined management control system with only one person responsible for advising the design team and contractor.
