During 2010 the UK government will introduce new policies that will create much greater public involvement in the approval of building and construction projects. In theory, if just one member of the public objects to a local building project, this could hold up the entire process.
Building and construction companies will need to focus much more attention to public consultation and influencing, either ‘on the doorstep’ or within public meetings. The challenge the industry faces is to train and equip key their staff to be able to present plans to the public in a positive and influential manner.
Some of my own training assignments have been to supply presentation skills, public speaking & media interviews training programmes to various building & construction companies including Sulzer UK Building Services, Axima and Tailor Wimpey, so my company can help with this challenge by training key staff to help make effective influential public presentations, to communicate effectively with the public, and to handle media interest.
