Tony Slater is Managing Director of SMP Alliance, the collaborative organisation set up by National Highways, Jacobs, WSP, BMJV, Balfour Beatty, Costain and Fluor, to deliver the smart motorways programme.
In conversation with Al Simmonite from Advance Consultancy, Tony tells the story of the Alliance and the challenge of creating an integrated, single entity; one that included National Highways and its key design and construction partners.
He covers:
the value of the Alliance - a delivery model within which every partner wins or they all lose
the aspects of collaboration that enable the Alliance to deliver its outcomes and how they were agreed on
the power of common purpose and the new ways of working associated with the Alliance
how to make it easy for people to navigate across organisational boundaries and work together
the significance of an outcomes-based approach in identifying and recognising achievements as key progress
the reality of individual and collective accountability
the Alliance learning model for sharing lessons and good practice
the nature and role of Alliance leadership
