The CIOB's new Corporate Plan has been published

Many of you already know that the CIOB is the world’s largest and most influential professional body for construction management, with a Royal Charter to promote the science and practice of building and construction for the benefit of society. Living up to the standards we have set over the years and creating a plan for our future is therefore no mean feat. That said our 2023-2028 plan is one in which I am confident. It will help deliver on our public interest remit and for our global community of members. I have been involved in much of the work that brought the plan together and being able to publicly share the results of a fantastically collaborative process is very positive.

A great deal of thought and consideration went into the process of pulling together the content and areas of focus for the plan. I want to highlight the work of the CIOB’s 2030 Vision group, a global group of members from our Tomorrow’s Leaders community, who were brought together to look to the future, consider current industry best practice, emerging trends and ideas on how the built environment should develop over the next decade. Their input was powerful and positive, keeping us future-focussed and ambitious in our aims. They also gave us the foundation for wider conversations across CIOB’s global membership, helping to develop the plan and building consensus around the themes.

The Trustees have also been a guiding force behind the process and have been engaged and conscientious throughout. My thanks to everyone who has helped us deliver this impressive plan for the future. One of the key themes is the idea of ‘modern professionalism’, which allows us to explore something which has been at the core of CIOB since its inception, and to shape it for the 21st century and for our growing international body of members. Construction should always be carried out in order to achieve the highest possible levels of quality and safety. We believe that what we have outlined in our new Corporate Plan will enable us to embed professionalism to the high standards we all want to see. Our members, the wider construction community and the end users of the built environment, deserve nothing less. The next five years will throw up new challenges that we have not foreseen but I have every confidence that our plan can and will adapt. I look forward to watching our ambitions for this important industry be delivered by modern professionals across the built environment.
