This document discusses benchmarking and productivity in the construction industry. It provides background on how benchmarking has helped other industries improve and how it can similarly help the construction industry become more competitive through continuous improvement.

Regular monitoring of key metrics like cost, time, waste, and client satisfaction is important. The document also lists some of the largest construction companies from different countries.
Multinational corporations (MNE) across all major industries are attempting to undertake significant technology-enabled transformation initiatives.
Strategically, they are becoming increasingly aware of the need to become more agile, and therefore more responsive to market demands, by utilising disruptive technologies as a means to accelerate growth. They understand that exploiting the full potential of such technology will ultimately yield the greatest competitive advantage by way of growth expedition and accelerated market acquisition.
Historically, attention has primarily been focussed on defining clear visions and the subsequent development of strategies needed to operationalise those visions.
In an accelerated business landscape, long term vision and strategy alone are no longer sufficient. With rapid technological advancements and newly emerging market incumbents, it is becoming increasingly difficult to anticipate global business trends in the long term, and thus, taking advantage of such trends can be unpredictable.
Shifting priorities and flexible strategies place executives and programme teams under extreme pressure to deliver strategic initiatives in a timely and effective manner, while becoming increasingly conscious that the useful lifetime value of an ongoing strategy is deteriorating at a faster rate than ever before.
This, inevitably, makes programme and project execution the primary focus of companies aiming to leverage technology in order to improve their response to market changes.
We assessed the 3 change capabilities necessary for organisational agility, as well as how each one represents a requisite condition for the successful implementation of any change initiative.

The document discusses the challenges of assessing and planning for risks facing the United States. It notes that there is no consensus on how to define or rank risks. Probability is difficult to determine for risks like terrorism that involve human behavior, compared to more predictable natural disasters. While scenarios can be imagined, the human mind is biased towards recent events. Overall, the document argues it is difficult to take a truly risk-based approach to planning due to these challenges around defining scenarios, determining probabilities, and overcoming cognitive biases.
Design has evolved from being applied primarily to physical objects to more complex domains like user experiences, corporate strategies, and systems. As designs have increased in complexity, gaining acceptance from stakeholders has become a greater challenge. To address this, the introduction or "intervention" of a new design can be treated as its own design problem through an iterative process involving users. This approach helped an organization in Peru successfully introduce innovations like a new school system and programs to develop local suppliers. By carefully designing interventions, complex new designs are more likely to be adopted.
Alibaba started as an e-commerce company serving small Chinese manufacturers, but continually experimented with new business models to adapt to China's rapidly changing online market. It split its successful Taobao marketplace into three separate businesses focused on different transaction types. When some experiments were less successful, it closed them down. This constant experimentation and adjustment of business models based on market feedback allowed Alibaba to develop multiple successful platforms and remain flexible enough to avoid disruption.

This year, for the first time, our ranking includes CEOs who started in their
jobs before 1995. Because industry-adjusted company returns weren’t
available for years prior to 1995, we omitted those CEOs in the past. This year
we’ve calculated their performance as if they took office on January 1, 1995.
While that may be imprecise and probably understates the results of
very-long-serving CEOs (many of whom put up spectacular numbers early
in their tenures), we believe it’s fairer than excluding them altogether.
In an effort to understand how much this methodology penalizes long-term
CEOs—and get a sense of how all the leaders we evaluated would do on
a straight-up, unfiltered ranking—we’ve calculated each CEO’s total
shareholder return (including dividends reinvested) with no adjustments,
from his or her start date until April 30, 2015. Sure enough, seven of the top
10 are CEOs who started before 1995. (See below.) When you think about it,
that makes sense: To earn the right to be CEO for more than 20 years, your
performance should be top-notch.

Warren Buffett is routinely lauded for
producing astronomical returns during
his 45 years as the CEO of Berkshire
Hathaway. So why doesn’t he appear
in our ranking? In fact, Buffett barely
missed the cutoff—coming in at #101,
one spot short. Had the list been based
solely on total shareholder return,
Buffett would have placed almost
at the top. But two factors in HBR’s
methodology pushed his ranking down.
The first is the way
we calculate financial
performance for CEOs
who’ve been in the job
for more than 20 years.
We incorporate three
financial metrics; one is
industry-adjusted returns,
which we use to avoid
unduly rewarding CEOs
who happened to be in
hot industries during
their tenure. Industry-
adjusted returns are
unavailable prior to
1995, so we compute
the financial returns of
CEOs who took office
earlier as if they began
on January 1, 1995. (Until
this year, CEOs who began before
then were ineligible for the list.) Counting
Berkshire’s returns only since 1995 ignores the
value that Buffett created during his first 25 years
at the company—but despite that, he still had
the 23rd best overall financial performance of the
907 CEOs we assessed.
The second factor is Berkshire’s environmental,
social, and governance (ESG) performance. On this
metric, Buffett ranked #798 out of the 907 CEOs
we looked at. Sustainalytics, the research firm
that produces the ESG scores, says that low
rank is partly due to Berkshire’s poor disclosure
on its governance and social policies. Another
consideration was how Berkshire incorporates ESG
issues into its selection of investments. Relative
to peer holding companies, Berkshire’s initiatives
for addressing sustainability within its investees
are weak, Sustainalytics found. Although the ESG
ranking counts for only 20% of a CEO’s overall
ranking, Buffett’s very low placement in it was
enough to pull him out of the top 100.
