An ongoing industry-wide shortage of qualified workers is among the key reasons for this issue. It has undermined project management and execution, adversely affecting cost, timelines and quality. It also has impeded the adoption of new digital technologies, such as building information modeling (BIM), automated equipment and cloud-based collaboration tools, which could improve productivity. To close the talent gap and gain the skills necessary to accelerate adoption of promising new technologies, IU stakeholders should collaborate to foster talent through improving workers' skills, attracting fresh talent to the industry and promoting new technologies. To identify actions that will close the talent gap, the World Economic Forum’s Future of Construction Initiative, in collaboration with The Boston Consulting Group (BCG), hosted a roundtable “How to Solve the Talent Gap in the IU Industry?” on 17 October 2017, in BCG’s Berlin office. At the roundtable, 32 representatives from leading global design, engineering and construction firms, industry associations, government and academic institutions discussed key issues and developed measures to be pursued at company-, industry- and government-level, which are detailed in the action plan outlined in this report. IU companies must strategically plan talent supply and demand, improve in-house learning and development programmes, and adopt new technologies to improve productivity and job satisfaction. Companies must also update their work culture to appeal to younger workers and become more diverse, including increasing the percentage of women in the industry. Industry organizations should run image campaigns to promote IU jobs, target prospective new pools of talent, such as employees with suitable skills from other industries like gaming, establish common bodies of knowledge, make career paths more transparent, and collaborate on training with academia and vocational training providers. Government must use its role as regulator and major owner of public works projects to develop regulations and sponsor initiatives that spur innovation and thereby increase the attractiveness of the IU industry. It must also harmonize building standards to make projects less complex and less labour intensive, update public-sponsored apprenticeships and academic programmes to include training on new skills, and boost support for job services. 39754_V2_Action_plan_to_solve_the_industrys_talent_gap.indd 415.02.18 16:18 5An Action Plan to solve the Industry’s Talent Gap Introduction The IU industrya is a vital part of the global economy and society.
