Productivity in the engineering and construction industry has been stagnant for decades. The proliferation of digital solutions has made it difficult for users to develop a coherent strategy. Companies who are able to successfully navigate the new digital landscape are on the brink of a transformation that will see top performers reduce overall project costs by 20-45%. However, digital transformations require developing digital capability across all aspects of the organization. Therefore, each entity involved in the industry must understand its critical challenges in order to guide its path to increased digital capability.

Top 8 Insights From the 2018 Beauty, Health & Wellness SurveyL.E.K. Consulting
Think nutritional supplements and skincare are of interest only to consumers of a certain age? Think again. According to L.E.K. Consulting’s third installment of a biennial survey of the healthy living marketplace, this one focusing on nutrition and skincare, some 80% of health and wellness (H&W) consumers across generations — from millennials to baby boomers — are highly engaged with both categories.
The survey captured insights from more than 1,600 respondents, representing roughly 77% of the U.S. adult population who identify with H&W themes, and generated eight key insights across categories. Together these insights make clear that consumer interest in nutritional supplements and skincare often lasts a lifetime.
Retailers who are proactive with their approach to consumer privacy and retail cyber security will create more meaningful data and consumer engagement.
MGI: From poverty to empowerment: India’s imperative for jobs, growth, and ef...McKinsey & Company
Some 680 million people, or 56% of India, live below MGI’s Empowerment Line and lack acceptable minimum standards of living; the Empowerment Gap is 4% of GDP in value terms (about 7 times the official poverty gap)
From 2005 to 2012, 75% of the improvement in living standards was due to rising incomes, the rest due to government spending; to reduce the gap faster, India needs more productive jobs and higher effectiveness of government spending (e.g., 85 million people below the official poverty line could have been lifted to minimum living standards just by improving delivery of public services)
Almost 40% of the Empowerment Gap comes from health care, drinking water and sanitation; in addition, hunger is a major issue for the poorest segments, and housing for the urban vulnerable
Apart from lacking the means, Indians also lack access to 46% of the basic services they need, with significant variations in the pattern of access deprivation across districts
A path of Stalled Reforms would leave 36% of India below the Empowerment Line and 12% below the Poverty Line in 2022, but the path of Inclusive Reforms can bring these down to 7% and 1% respectively – while achieving fiscal consolidation and reducing access deficit in basic services to 17%, from 46% currently. Raising government spending on subsidies alone delivers just 8% of the total impact. 4 themes are critical
Non-farm jobs deliver >50% of impact; 115 million jobs are needed (38 million more than Stalled Reforms) through 6 broad-ranging reforms and investments in 70-100 job creation engines
Agricultural yield growth delivers ~20% of impact, needing 9 farm sector initiatives and investment rebalancing towards rural infrastructure, research and extension
Public spending on basic services should grow at 7% p.a. in real terms and share of health, water and sanitation to rise from 20% to nearly 50%
Government spending effectiveness must improve from 50% to 75%, by working with private and social sector, community involvement and tight monitoring using technology
Six themes are essential to improve governance across the board (raise institutional capacity and strengthen external accountability)
The tipping point for electrified vehicles is in sight, and a combination of hybrid and fully electric powertrains is expected to cut the global market share of pure internal combustion engines (ICEs) by about 50% by 2030.
Summary: Even in a time of high biopharma valuations, adopting an activist mentality adds rigor to capital allocation and strategic decision-making, improving not just returns to shareholders but long-term value creation. Therefore, biopharma management teams and boards of directors should proactively assess the “fitness” of their capital allocation strategies and their alignment with operational performance goals by taking an outsider’s view of the business even when times are good — and before a material stumble provides a compelling reason for an outsider to act.

Summary: This keynote address presented by Pamela Spence, EY Global Life Sciences Leader (pspence2@uk.ey.com) at MAPS 2018 – the annual meeting for Medical Affairs Professional Society – discusses our latest life sciences report and the industry demands for a customer-focused, data driven approach to health care. We describe the accelerating pace of change as technological advances and the escalating expectations of payers, physicians and patient consumers are combining to disrupt the life sciences business model. Data and algorithms that maximize health outcomes based on individual needs and preferences are becoming the ultimate health care consumable. To create value now and in a future that we call Life Sciences 4.0, life sciences companies must build – or participate in – interoperable information systems that collect, combine and share data.

Consideration of Conformity Assessment for the Circular Economy.pdfDr. Monideep Dey
The post-COVID recovery offers an opportunity to reverse unsustainable economic trends and build back better, to promote sustainable consumption and production as laid out in SDG 12 and transition to a circular, more resilient and low-carbon economy. Nations are developing a circular economy in the context of the Paris Agreement, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the United Nations Call for Action on Adaption and Resilience. ISO, UNECE and other international standards organizations are developing a number of standards that are essential in supporting the climate agenda; they help adapt to climate change, quantify greenhouse gas emissions and promote the dissemination of good practices in environmental management.
A critical element to ensure the achievement of sustainable develop goals is the assessment of conformity and accountability that such goals are being achieved and in a manner consistent with all the SDGs. Although this document reports specifically on conformity assessment for the Circular Economy that is aimed to serve UN SDG12 – Responsible consumption and production, and also UN SDG-13, Climate action, many concepts and methods discussed here will be applicable more broadly in the implementation of all SDGs.
International Standards also play a crucial role in underpinning the global economy, and creating trust on all aspects of international trade. In the past, advanced economies have been the main participants in the development of international standards with participants from the transition and developing economies only playing a minor role. This paper emphasizes that issues important to developing and transition economies such as those for social and environmental concerns should be addressed in international standards for them to have broad benefit across all nations and to achieve the SDGs worldwide.
The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) is geared towards improving governance in the oil, gas and minerals sector. The EITI currently includes 53 countries across the world, half of which are in Africa. It is governed by multi-stakeholder coalitions representing business, governments and civil society organisations.
The EITI started out in 2007 by disclosing payments made by companies to governments in the form of license fees, taxes and other payments. Governments in turn disclosed payments they received from companies to identify possible discrepancies in reported revenues. Disclosures under the EITI are now increasingly fine-grained, focusing on identifying beneficial owners, publicising contracts, commodity trading transparency and project level investments. The EITI seeks to tackle corruption, promote accountability, strengthen institutions, and contribute to domestic resource mobilisation. The current approach also highlights gender and environmental considerations in government and company reporting.
Many EITI countries are currently facing a triple crisis occasioned by the Covid-19 pandemic: a health emergency, a massive fall in government revenues triggered by oil and commodity price falls, and an economic crisis caused by a huge reduction in global demand. This lecture explores the continued salience of governance and transparency work in the extractives sector during a period of acute global crisis, amid growing constraints on government budgets and capacity, and increasing limitations on civic space and advocacy.
This Sussex Development Lecture addresses this set of issues to place the EITI in a broader perspective as a leading global transparency and accountability initiative.
This lecture is part of the Sussex Development Lecture series: Global development challenges: towards a politics of hope.

With the theme “Collaborate, Innovate, Act – Delivering the Green Economy”, the B4E Global Summit 2012 in Berlin set out to define the role of business as innovator and implementer of solutions for a sustainable world and discussed how policies can help to accelerate sustainable development. The Summit working groups gave specific recommendations and commitments from business for the Rio+20 conference that took place in June 2012. The outcome messages from the Berlin Summit were then carried through a global media campaign under the banner ‘Big ideas for a sustainable future’ over the weeks leading up to the 2012 Earth Summit and shared with key decision makers in Rio+.

increased from 8.5% in 2009 to 14% in 2012, a
positive indicator but well behind world leaders;
► Dubai Waste Master Plan in development and
being finalized. Pilot residential recycling
expanded across Jumeirah;
► Abu Dhabi Center of Waste Management
(CWM) created a waste producing tariff system;
AED225/t (since 2011).
► Abu Dhabi in addition is planning to develop a
state-of-the-art Waste Management Master plan
in 2015-16;
► Bee'ah of Sharjah invested in recycling facilities
in Sharjah (over USD 1billion) combined with a
reputable education/awareness program and
waste tariffs to change behaviour. Sharjah
currently has the highest recycling rates of the
country;
► TAQA and CWM (Abu Dhabi) “are developing”
a Waste to Energy facility to operate in 2015 (on

Political, regulatory and operational competencies over waste management is
shared between the federal and Emirate level governments, which - in the case of
waste and resource management - is generating a lot of transaction costs and
hampering a national sustainable policy over the long run…
New law proposals are expected to help unify (operational) waste management
guidelines in the UAE and strengthen the impact of the federal level.
12. ► Sustainable resource management is a
strategic challenge today and tomorrow for all
countries across the world.
► It is a key theme for industries and the public
sector alike.
► There are several key economic (regulatory)
instruments which are broadly
used/in development in OECD (also in
increasing number of non-OECD countries):
► ADF (advance disposal fees)
► Landfill/recovery/incineration — taxes
tipping fees
► Tradeable (landfill) permits
► Recycling credits or rebates
► Virgin material and ecotaxes
► Extended producer responsibility (EPR)
► Design for Environment incentives

2. In perspective: sustainable resource management
In a nutshell
13. The cooperation between the private and public sector is key to design
and implement a sustainable EPR or other regulation.
There are different partnership models for public-private cooperation:
Experience shows that in most case close cooperation between government and
private sector is necessary to realise the objectives and avoid dramatic risks in the
market.
