In-depth transformation of practices INNOVATIONS THAT REQUIRE A SHAKE-UP OF ESTABLISHED PRACTICES Led by established players and start-ups alike, driven by a wish to “change the world”, some ground-breaking innovations are being used to overcome traditional barriers and revolutionize the construction sector. They often involve a change to the value-creation model and a rethink of how stakeholders cooperate. Conclusion To succeed in scaling up, these innovations – and those that will emerge in the construction sector in the future – need to get their entire ecosystem on board. Why? Quite simply because an innovation, even the least disruptive, means doing things differently, and thus having to adapt. Market organization, the regulatory environment, business practices and economic models often have to change to “absorb” the innovation. The role of established players in the construction industry can thus prove decisive in positively engaging all stakeholders in the necessary transformation processes.
