Your call for more team building in the editorial on the collapse at the airport terminal in Paris asks all parties to shake off adversarial pressures and work more tightly as a team (ENR 2/21 p. 56). And, as you note happened after the Hyatt collapse, there will be calls for more oversight and communication. We agree that such calls will have little impact on an industry dedicated to the fantasy that the highest project performance can be achieved by getting the lowest price for each piece.
Having said that, changes in procurement, oversight, communications and team building are insufficient to prevent another collapse or to make significant improvements in project delivery. For that, we must reform the way we think about and manage work in project settings. This can happen when procurement rules change, communication improves and teams are built intentionally. But it doesnt always, and it wont happen with increased oversight. The hard truth is that the way we manage work increases risk. A deeper change is required in the way work is managed if we are to expect uniformly better results.
