LEAD figures in the transport industry are calling for cross-sector collaboration and a customer focused approach towards the Clyde Metro programme at event.
Hosted by Deloitte today, this event will involve local government, policy makers, senior leaders of large organisations and more, and it will include panel and breakout discussions.
This event has the purpose of discussing the delivery of the multimodal mass transit public transport system, Clyde Metro, and sharing industry related insight.
It will have a panel of speakers which includes Mark Wild, Jennie MacKenzie, Rob Scopes and other relevant speakers.
They plan to speak on matters such as how they can influence the success of this project in the pre-construction phase and how they can keep the cost of the project at a reasonable level.
Mark Wild, CEO of SGN, stated: “The Clyde Metro programme is an exciting and ambitious endeavor that will transform the transport experience and drive economic growth in the region.”
Marks adds: “While it’s important to balance the needs and demands of the programme delivery interim phases, it is essential not to lose sight of the desired outcomes.”
“Inevitably in today’s increasingly hyper-complex world, external crises and challenges will arise during the long lifespans of these sorts of major programmes.
“To best manage these uncertainties, Clyde Metro will need resilient buy-in from across political, business, societal, and governmental arenas.”
The panel also plans to discuss what wider benefits the project can provide beyond it being just a transport project, how to futureproof the project and how to make this metro system highly inclusive.
Jenni MacKenzie, Senior Transport Consultant said: “The Clyde Metro programme is more than just a transport project – it will have significant impact on education, employment and economic growth in the region.”
“To ensure its success, Clyde Metro must engage across the stakeholder landscape, both at a sectoral level, but also beyond.”
Rob Scopes, Infrastructure and Capital Projects Lead Partner at Deloitte, added: “The Clyde Metro programme is of national and regional significance, with far reaching ambition to transform the economy of the region.”
“We work with a wide variety of clients tackling some of the most challenging projects in order to deliver societal benefits including better places to live and work.”
