Disaster Results in Innovation with Claire Smith | Innovation Deciphered

We are lucky enough to be joined by Claire Smith in this episode, who is the Editor of New Civil Engineer.

Claires tell us about how organising and celebrating EMAP’s 50th anniversary allowed her to see how the construction industry has changed and developed and the innovation over time.

As well as, discussing how disasters stimulate innovation and in essence how the construction industry is reaction rather than action. They also dive into her discoveries at Tech Fest which happened last December as well as the much needed shift in the gender mix within the construction industry and what she would like to see for the future.
