How is my business actually doing?
Call me paranoid, call me untrusting or call me a control freak, but I NEED to know EVERYTHING that’s going on in our businesses.
This is our wall of duty 📺
Real-time updates from the guys (top left), vehicle tracking (bottom left), CCTV from our main sites (top right), main inbox (lower middle), grab and aggregate workflow (top middle) and Sky News (bottom right).
My long-term ambition is body cams on the guys, BUT I know that’s a bit Big Brother..but imagine how good that would be in construction!
It’s not because I don’t trust our team; it’s because I think information…especially in real time, is the key to making the best decisions.
We react to what we’re seeing. Who’s nearest to a problem? How can we fix an issue? What situation do we need to sort next? Are we hitting our milestones?
All of this is streamed right into our info wall at HQ…as it happens!
If the wall was big enough, I’d have eight more screens!
My view is that we literally spend £10,000s a day on labour, logistics and materials, so why wouldn’t I want to know how it’s all being deployed?
I just love looking up and seeing where we’re at.
Has anyone else got a setup like this? Is this the way forward?
OR am I just too insecure?
Our aim is to become the 𝗦𝗔𝗦 of construction
